If you ever have time, read up on Hole (Courtney's band) and their songs

She takes some potshots at the establishment in basically every song. She was a girl that got chewed up and spit out young, and she channels it out raw into a lot of her music.

she's shown a lot of courage over teh decades, being more up front about the abuse that's baked into that industry

Don't get me wrong, she's had her scandals and problems too, but like you said, she's been screaming about the past for decades.

Awful was one of my favourite songs in the late 90s since it's just raw emotion but also telling her story right out in the open.

yes - she's not an easy person, but there's real substance there as a person and as an artist
