And the street cred continues to crumble...I'm probably not that far out of line in saying that we most likely would never have heard of Hole if not for Kurt Cobain. When he married Courtney Love, she suddenly became way more famous. I'm not saying she's not talented. She's proven her musical chops and even shown the world that she's a decent actress, buuuuuuuuuuut ... it IS Courtney Love. She's kind of a walking joke now.
I think "Celebrity Skin" kicks ass. It's fast. It's heavy. It's melodic. The lyrics are pointed and nasty. The whole track has a ton of attitude, something Courtney was never lacking in. I love the stopping and starting of the music too. I mentioned this in a previous post, but the tight stops of the guitar are great. I love the line "Oh Cinderella, they aren't sluts like you." Awesome. The whole song is about media whores. Courtney warns them to watch out what they wish for. "It better be worth it," she sings, because it's "so much to die for." I wonder... did she have any experience in seeking celebrity and getting chewed up and spit out by the press? Maybe if she'd listened to her own song, she might not be the mess she is now.
"Celebrity Skin" is from the album of the same name. To hear the song, click on the icon in the widget jukebox along the side of the blog.l
