This is a first for me. I have never re-posted an illustration, that is until now. Courtney Love being the subject, I guess rules need not apply. I originally posted this when I began my blog. I don't recall if there was anything specific that triggered this painting? Might just have been a lifetime of kookiness I was celebrating.
I have to say that I am an authentic Courtney fan. I have all of her music. Listen to it often. And, am intrigued/ amused/ disappointed/ bummed out by her behavior. Whatever you think about her, she surely is entertaining. I'm revisiting this illustration because of her blogging. That's right, her take no prisoners/ make no sense ramblings have been channeled into her Myspace blog. Defiantly refusing to use spell check! Now that's a rebel!
Here's her latest entry:

That can't really be her, can it? I know she's crazy but that seems like it was written by a 13 yr old. And was it texted from her phone? Bad spelling is one thing but that entry is a Word Jumble.

Oh I adore Courtney too, she rocks. I don't care what anyone says, her craziness just makes me more intrigued with her!

She's laughing at us.

YES! YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!! I am a fan of Courtney Love, too. People don't give her enough credit as a FEMALE rocker, they just wanna bash her and focus on her being in the spotlight... i'm sick of it all... and I LOVE the drawing. I noticed you took it down from the banner of your blog.
i LOVE the cigarette earrings.. I want them!

okay, i found this and i'll comment. yes, it's a posting by courtney on her blog which looks and reads very much like what she has posted for many years. no, she isn't 13, she's 43 and has the emotional maturity of a 13 year old. no, it's not a text, she never uses spellcheck and the grammar is absolutely typical of adhd (my writing starts out similar). yes, it's a jumble like everything else in her sassy loony brain. courtney is an easy target to make fun of, i'm glad she's trying to get it together.
