Courtney Love Loses It in Washington D.C.
Courtney Love has officially lost her damn mind. At a club in Washington
D.C. she melted down and performed a three hour train wreck of a show.
She mumbled about her critics, her fans, name dropped a shit load of celebrities, and performed the final song topless. Here is the Washington Post review of the show, and I feel sorry for that reporter. He had to see Love's tattooed flapjacks in the open.
According to the post she played about 30 songs with covers of The Rolling Stones and Leonard Cohen, but they were mostly samples or snippets. Apparently she stumbled through a few of her own songs and admitted she forgot how to play them...even though she then went onto play the songs.
Anyone who stuck around for the encore is a glutton for punishment, but was rewarded with an over the air announcement that it would take a lot of applause to coax Love back on stage because, according to the Post, "there was someone who was waiting to have sex with Love and it would take lots of applause to get her to delay that appointment."
I don't believe that for one second, even meth heads wouldn't touch her. She has talent, but I wonder if it has been lost due to years of drug abuse, mental instability, and eating disorders.
I am a fan of good old fashioned train wrecks, but this concert seems like it was the 9-11 of wrecks. But the ones I feel bad about are the backing musicians. Yea, they knew going into it that they would be backing Love who is very erratic, but they don't deserve to be treated like dirt when all they really wanted to was to entertain a crowd.Oh well I hope that paycheck is worth it.
