About a girl.

Leave Courtney Love alone. She looks happy, and Frances Bean is utterly adorable. Oh! They were in the audience at the "American Idol" finale. How strange to think of Kurt Cobain's daughter as an "American Idol" fan. Wonder if she was for Bo or Carrie. Here's another picture. Aw!

I'm glad to see Courtney is doing better. She might have had some personal problems in the past, but she is one amazing musician.

I've seen Hole in concerts a few times, and of about a hundred concerts I've been two, she's easily one of the top five performers I've seen.

I saw Hole in concert here in Madison. Even though Love freaked out, because the sound system was awful -- "We're a bar band tonight" -- they were still great. And she was a terrific actress in that movie about Larry Flynt.

I always used to say that Courtney was the girl next door -- but then I'm from Detroit...

I hate to gainsay Ms. Althouse at any time, but its barely possible Love is not the ideal parent of a 12 year old girl. I'm just saying.

Hi Ann. re who Frances Bean rooted for... I saw Entertainment Tonight, and Frances said she was rooting for Bo because "he's a rocker".

Ann Althouse said...

Doc, and others: I'm aware of the problems, but all I'm saying is that she looks happy there, Francis looks happy, they are doing something wholesome, and I wish them well. Love won custody of the child back, last January, and presumably she's really done something positive for herself. She doesn't need people telling her she got fat or rubbing the past in her face all the time.

Thanks for the link to the larger picture, which is much more flattering. Much as I like Go Fug Yourself (linked in the original post), I think it's mean to pick the most unflattering angle on a person who's gained a lot of weight. GFY does a good job of being just mean enough to people, actually. Even on this one. But still... I'm glad to see the nicer picture.

I've always thought a lot of Courtney's antics were an act, as I've written on this blog before: here.

Who said I was gushing?

and since when did being an asshole stop anyone from being a good rock star?

since we're latching on to our loco locals, I guess I'm stuck with Iggy.

Yeah, he's been a model citizen hasn't he?
