Courtney Love: Dirty Blonde review
Dirty Blonde (Hardcover) :
304 pages
Faber & Faber
List Price: $35.00
A multi-textual memoir chronicling the life of one of our most potent pop icons.
Groundbreaking rock musician. Award-winning actress. Perceptive songwriter and author. Mother. Wife of a rock god. Fashionista and trendsetter. Provocateur. In each and every one of these roles Courtney Love has demonstrated a wholehearted commitment to her art, and an intense drive and a lust for life that have made her a star and a celebrity icon—but have also led her into some unwise, uncharted, and even dangerous territory. Simultaneously candid and enigmatic, Love has a mordant wit and vivid intelligence matched in intensity only by the extraordinary life she has led, from a bleak early childhood through great fame and terrible heartbreak to the present day. By turns exhilarating and unsettling, this is a story told for the first time in Dirty Blonde.
Composed of an astonishing and eclectic collection of deeply personal artifacts including personal letters, childhood records, poetry, diary entries, song lyrics, fanzines, show flyers, other original writings, and never-before-seen photographs, Dirty Blonde leads us through the unimaginable highs and the despairing lows of one of the most compelling and creative figures in the world of popular culture. Through these diaries we see Love’s accomplishments, her mistakes, her history, and her bright future in a whole new light. From her upbringing in Oregon through her years living in Japan, New Zealand, and London, from her career highs with Hole and as a Hollywood leading lady to her personal heartbreak and struggle, Dirty Blonde is Love laid bare—a wholly fascinating portrait of a fierce and insightful woman with an unblinking worldview and a determination to express herself no matter the cost.

Biography
Nee Love Michelle Harrison on July 9th, 1965, in San Francisco, California, to parents Linda Caroll, a well-known therapist and Hank Harrison, a publisher, Courtney Love was a free spirit from the get go.
For most of her life, Courtney traveled around with her family living mostly in hippie communes. After receiving a trust fund from her grandmother in 1984, Courtney decided to do a little traveling on her own visiting places such as Ireland, Japan, Taiwan, and Liverpool.
Upon returning to the United States, Courtney began singing in music groups in the Bay Area. Soon enough, she caught the attention of movie director Alex Cox, who cast her in the supporting role of Nancy's best friend in the film, Sid & Nancy.
The movie did not see much commercial success and Courtney's movie career soon fizzled after another straight-to-video movie entitled Straight To Hell. After this, Courtney moved to Minneapolis where she joined an all-female band called Babes in Toyland. Soon after, she was kicked out of the band.
With no money and no job, Courtney tried to become a stripper but none of the local clubs would hire her because was "too fat". So she headed back to LA in 1989 and formed the band Hole. Their debut album called Pretty on the Inside didn't burn up the charts, but it did establish them as viable musicians.
Major record labels took notice of the eccentric Courtney Love and her band, but before she could sign a record deal with any label, she met and married Curt Kobain from the music band Nirvana in late 1992. Courtney instantly went from a potentially successful musician to Kurt Cobain's wife.
Rumors about the couple began circulating faster than ever and their reported drug abuse was worthy of media mention, especially since Courtney was pregnant at the time with their daughter, Frances Bean. Child Protective Services began investigating the couple and luckily their daughter was not taken away from them.
After only a short period of marriage, Courtney's husband's life began spiraling out of control and his drug abuse (allegedly) led him to suicide with a shotgun blast to the head in 1994. It took a while, but Courtney managed to survive through the ordeal and released her new album only one week after her husband's unfortunate death.
The album was entitled Live Through This and although it received huge commercial success (it went platinum), Courtney was forced to relive her nightmare when the groups bassist, Kristen Pfaff overdosed on heroin.
Once again Courtney endured the pain and continued to make a name for herself. She decided to take up acting once again and starred in blockbuster movies such as Feeling Minnesota, The People vs. Larry Flynt and Man on the Moon, starring opposite Jim Carrey.
Courtney's love life has not been flailing since her husband's tragic death either. She has been linked to rockers Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins, Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, Evan Dando of The Lemonheads, actor Edward Norton, and is currently attached to music executive Jim Barber.
Courtney Love is continually shocking her fans by throwing concerts dressed like a streetwalker one day and appearing at the Golden Globe's dressed in haute couture the next. Call her what you will, but it's evident that this blonde sensation won't be fading away anytime soon.0 comentarios 1210 días

omg nova caine i read the lovely death description and i have a few suggestions:
1. mabye a visit to a psychologist cause i mean eww like wtf.
2. secondly the conspiracy that she killed kurt is as old and tired as nirvanas music. and this is for the following reasons:
1.kurt was heavily depressed, heavily addicted too heroin and had recently broken up nirvana and had just ran away from rehab.
2. he had in the past tried to kill himself.
3. she loved him.
4.hole are a million times better then nirvana and when you grow up n get some musical taste youll figure that out for yourself.
suck on that! heres some love for my fave bitch ms.c love
loves me coutney so i do! and she knows shes a slut its wat shes best at if u hate her so much why ya all wasting your time commenting on her page your clearly looking for attention or trying to prove some point your better off just leaving some i love nirvana comments on some tired kurt cobain page. mabye shake it up do a few white board drawings!!! spread the love ! c love for ever!
Has anyone else noticed that the people who HATE Courtney all seem to be incredibly immature, unable to just let it go and fuck off, in serious need of a shrink to sort out their obvious anger managment issues, somewhat illiterate and weirdly obsessed with her despite the fact that they hate her and yet the FANS of Courtney give normal, calm, intelligent replies to their comments and are called "retards"
Makes you think....
Love Courtney. <3

AHA, DEAR GOD! HAHAHAHAHA YOU'RE ALL SHIT!!!!!!!
*Le sigh*
Oh, so a person can't like a singer/band now JUST BECAUSE they like their music, or if they do, they're fat?
Is that what you're saying?
Pffffft. NOBODY IS GOING TO LISTEN TO YOU. GROW THE FUCK UP. And get some freaking anger management therapy too!
Let people like her. It's not like people are going to see your comment and go "OH! Wait a minute, she's actually the biggest bitch ever created. Just because that randomer said it in a comment."
Stop trying to change people's minds.
Dear Jesus...
My goldfish has more sense.
And you're incapability to spell isn't embarrassing to other people, it's embarrassing for YOU. People will take you more seriously if you can at least SPELL ffs.
