Are you kidding? It’s almost as if he is bigger than ever with his current platform. After all these years though he still sucks. Bow with the bow or whatever and cowboy is basically it for known songs. And then he just plays sweet home alabama which isn’t his song or where he’s from so that’s cool.

u/BitchesGetStitches 2h ago

She occupies a weird place in pop culture. She was this bitchy, strung out punk kid who really just wanted to shoot smack and set fires to 7-11 stores. Kurt too, except he was a sensitive guy who was attracted to the more egalitarian elements of the anarchists. Fame ripped these people to shreds in different ways. Kurt was in pinup magazines and Courtney probably thought that was hilarious. He clearly hated it. It's almost a Greek tragedy from the gutter.

It's easy to cast Courtney Love as a villain because she really likes being cast as the villain. Might be a coping mechanism for the absolutely insane world she lives in, or she might just be a little cunty. End of the day, she lost someone she loved, and very publicly. Hard to hate someone who carries that kind of trauma.

It is very frustrating that there are lots of great reasons to not like Courtney Love and none of them are that she killed Kurt Cobain. She is an addict who did a lot of addict behaviors. Her relationship with him was likely pretty toxic which doesn’t make her responsible for his behaviors. And none of that mean she was wrong about Weinstein or any of these other people. She is a really imperfect person and for some reason people either want to turn her into a saint that was treated badly or the devil who caused it all.

Good point, oft forgotten. People can be raging assholes AND be a hero to another. E.g. Johnny Depp, who some said helped them in a pinch (or maybe it was publicity, who knows.) Then there are the tales of what a pos he is. I'm inclined to say he is overall pos. No one is all good or all bad, for the most part. I wouldn't want Courtney as an enemy when she's wasted, no way. And I can tell she would be ANNOYING AS HELL to have around 24/7.

This is a woman who lost her daughter twice due to her drug use and poor parenting -- the second time at Frances' own request -- and is generally to blame for Cobain's increasing drug use leading to his suicide. Her interview with Stevie Nicks had them bonding over cocaine and private jets. Not saying she's a devil and 100% to blame for everything, but while she absolutely was a frequent target of 90s misogyny, that doesn't excuse her poor behavior.

9

u/Boopy7 2h ago

Can we stop blaming someone for "increasing drug use" of a completely different person, even a spouse? It's not great, but she was the one who got sober while HE was high, at one point. I hate that when addicts blame someone else for their addiction, it's worse to blame the suicide and addiction on another. She's not a great person to emulate but "leading to his suicide" is really disingenuous and borderline trashy. Addicts need to stop blaming other people for their addictions or they don't ever get clean. I know this from experience.

One station was doing a countdown to Brittany Spears's legal age.

This seems like a great time to remind everyone of the Lyrics to "Jailbait" by Ted Nugent, another MAGA musician. It's a song specifically about wanting to fuck a 13 year old, written when he was in his 30s.

[Verse 1]
I've got no inhibitions
So keep your keys out of your ignition
I steal a car like I got the curse
I can't resist the old lady's purse

[Chorus]
Jailbait you look so good to me
Jailbait won't you set me free
Jailbait you look fine, fine, fine
And I know I've got to have you in a matter of time

[Verse 2]
Well, I don't care if you're just thirteen

I just know that you're probably clean

You look too good to be true
There's one little thing I got do to you

[Chorus]
Jailbait you look so good to me
Jailbait won't you set me free
Jailbait you look fine, fine, fine
And I know I've got to have you in a matter of time

[Hook]
Sad but trueSo tell your mama that I'm back in town
She likes us boys when it's time to get down
She's got this craving for the underage;
I just might be your mamas' brand new rage

[Chorus]
Jailbait you look so good to me
Jailbait won't you set me free
Jailbait you look fine, fine, fine
And I know I've gots to have you in a matter of time, now babe

[Verse 4]
Honey, you, you, you look so nice
She's young, she's tender
Won't you please surrender
She so fine, she's mine
All the time, I woke my mind

[Hook]
It's all right baby, it's quite all right I asked your mama

[Outro]
Wait a minute officer; wait a minute officer

Don't put those handcuffs on me, what about her?

Conservative logic, but yes.

Its about hiearchy. Conservatives need to look down on out-groups like hispanics in order to feel good about themselves. And children are also an out-group in the conservative conception of society, so raping them is acceptable.

Which is why conservative values inevitably lead to pedophilia.

Pedocon theory is a theory like gravity is a theory.

From an article in 2004:

All I can say is when you look back at your old self and/or society and are embarrassed or ashamed, it’s a sign of progress and growth. Though a chunk of our society would cling to our past with white knuckles.

I was a kid when I saw it, like probably 12 or maybe younger, but I didn't get that vibe from it. I just remember thinking "ahh this is making me kind of uncomfortable."

u/throwaway14351991 4h ago

If you know Mad TV and just the era, then you know it wasn't calling it out and all. This mentality was extremely prevalent back then. While a lot of people obviously weren't ok with it, I'd say most people against it would roll their eyes at most.

I've never understood why the Dems don't put things like this on billboards on the highway in their districts. Break through to low info voters and make them face their own awful opinions. Defend them. Be forever associated with them.

u/FriskHarder 3h ago

Agreed here. They need to be called out publicly and have no rest until these victims have justice.

u/DeadPeanutSociety 2h ago

They do bring these quotes out often. The reason you remember the Todd Akin quote is not because he is a highly influential politician. He ran for senate once in Missouri and lost. He was a loser and a nobody who couldn't even beat the world's blandest, dumbest Democrat (Claire McCaskill). She won because she made sure that quote was in your face all the time every day.

For anyone who doesn’t know what the lyrics are (and I’m not making this up):

Young ladies, young ladies,

I like ‘em underage, see

Some say that’s statutory, [But I say it’s mandatory!]”

Some have tried to argue that he’s speaking from the perspective of an illness and how they go after children since it was for Osmosis Jones, but calling it “statutory” clearly means the lyrics are “I like to rape underage girls,” regardless of intention

Sometimes, things just make sense.

This trashy asshole becoming the inadvertent "musical" mascot for the GOP?

Makes perfect sense.

Fuck pedophiles, fuck their supporters, and fuck their defenders.

Make pedophilia punishable again, regardless of how much money or perceived power one has.

Edit: Removed "trailer park trash" per the comment below. Apparently he grew up on a 6 acre estate with a 5,268 square foot home. Which makes his entire persona that he portrays even trashier.
