Digging on Hole

Oh, Hole. How I used to love you. How I still love you. Courtney is my
favorite rock chick tragedy- I know people say Kurt wrote all your shit but
I still love your music and your swagger. Makes me wish I went to school in
Olympiaaaa...

Hole was a great band with three really great albums- "Pretty on the
Inside", "Live Through This" and "Celebrity Skin" (sure there were more but
these are the standouts). Rumor has it Courtney has a new album coming out,
with the usual legal ramifications. (Eric Erlandson is saying no to a Hole
reunion without his involvement).

I will admit much of the music of the 90s was not so much a thing for me-
too sad and dirgeful, but Hole spoke to me in a real way- Courtney's rasp
surrounded by soulful and tough rock guitar did it for me, with amazing
lyrics inspired by a debauched and fucked up life. In other news, I hear
Courtney is dating Andre Balazs which is just insane, though I assume its
for free room and board at the Mercer.

Anyway, looking forward to the day Courtney will once again take the stage-
tattered, torn, and pissed off and one HOT mess, as it should be. I will be
there in a torn slip dress drinking a Jack and Coke to celebrate. Love you,
Courtney. Enjoy the lyrics below from Celebrity Skin...XO

Celebrity Skin lyrics
Oh, make me over
I'm all I wanna be
a walking study
in demonology

Hey, so glad you could make it
Yeah, now you really made it
Hey, so glad you could make it now

Oh look at my face
my name is might have been
my name is never was
my name's forgotten

Hey, so glad you could make it
Yeah, now you really made it
Hey, there's only us left now

When I wake up
In my makeup
its too early for that dress
wilted and faded somewhere in
Hollywood
I'm glad I came here with your pound of flesh
no second billing, cause you're a star now
Oh, Cinderella they aren't sluts like you
Beautiful garbage, beautiful dresses
can you stand up
or will you just fall down?

You better watch out
what you wish for
it better be worth it
so much to die for

Hey, so glad you could make it
Yeah, now you really made it
Hey, there's only us left now

When I wake up, in my makeup
have you ever felt so used up as this
it's all so sugarless
hooker waitress, model actress
oh just go nameless
honeysuckle
she's full of poison
she obliterated everything she kissed
now she's fading, somewhere in Hollywood
I'm glad I came here with your pound of flesh

You want a part of me
well I'm not selling cheap
no I'm not selling cheap
