    My original thought, when the idea for this thread occured to me, was that it would be just like Pearl Jam to write a song like this about Courtney...a woman who has said so many negative things about PJ to the press and probably hurt--at least Eddie's--feelings. For them to then write a song about her saying, basically, "You've got your problems, babe, but really, all you need is love." Almost like extending an olive branch to her, despite the fact that she's done nothing to deserve it.
    She has indeed hurt his feelings...he showed as much in 1994 when a reporter from Melody Maker unintentionally blindsided him with something very cruel that she said about him. However she seems to have come around at some point. After that late-1996 Rolling Stone cover story that slammed Eddie she wrote a VERY strongly worded letter to the magazine sticking up for him.

    As for Kurt's sexuality...he was deliberately rather ambiguous and stated publicly that he could probably go either way. Although i'm not sure why anyone cares. :)

    Thanks... :) I'd like to state for the record that I do not care a lick what Kurt's sexuality was.

    That finally being out of the way, I'm glad that Courtney finally came around...although I could swear I remember reading a quote from her post-96 that was anti-PJ, but I could definitely be wrong. It's just fun to think about...I don't think I'll ever listen to Breakerfall the same way again.

    I think Family Guy can say it best for me. She has the cheek to call PJ sellouts. She dates all these 'celebrity' people and stars in films etc.

    She tries to sell out herself with her records but cant even write a decent pop song to get herself noticed in the music business for anything other than being Cobains widow.
    Well, that Celebrity Skin song was pretty popular... but that was about 10 years ago.
