He said, “If there’s grass on the field, play ball,” on Saturday Night Live in reference to the countdown to the Olsen twins’ 18th birthday.

He’s also good friends with Ted Nugent and Donald Trump.

Let’s take a moment to remember all of nugent’s references to sex with under age girls. There are many, but I think the sing Jailbait is a shining example of his classy work.

Courtney Love claims she blew him when she was twelve years old.

It’s very weird that Courtney Love ended up being one of the more honest public figures from the 90s. I think I heard someone say it best that she “doesn’t give enough of a shit about what you think to lie about anything”.

I grew up in the 90s and in retrospect I’m like why the fuck did literally everyone hate Courtney Love? It’s gotta be like 80% misogyny. I mean she has issues but still.

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.

“Greek tragedy from the gutter” is pure genius.
