Relationships fascinate me. Kurt & Courtney both had personal problems and mental health issues with drug addiction on top of it. When I see this on my own in life I immediately think it's gonna be a disaster (and it usually is). But Kurt & Courtney also had positive aspects to their relationship in terms of societal issues they cared about & a baby they were determined to raise (media talks about how bad their parenting was & I cannot comment on that because I wasn't there, but considering how addicted they were, the fact that Courtney was determined to keep her baby despite people pressuring for an abortion & go to rehab and get clean after discovering her pregnancy is honorable in a way), & also they're creative influence on eachother is so beautifully shown thru the art they made at the time. They're relationship was much like the drugs themselves, took it for the good effects but dealt with the consequences of the bad.

And then Kurt's incompetent parents took custody of her daughter anyway. Maybe it was for the best idk but I still think the justice system must've been extra biased against Courtney.

[@vicbaker5407]

Very well thought out and a very eloquent, heartfelt and intelligent reply.
The pair of them were just completely used and steamrolled by the press at the time. How were either of them supposed to continue living a 'normal ' life ?
I do still believe that Courtney had a hand in Kurt's death, but when you are in a relationship and co- habiting, the lines between right and wrong become a bit fuzzy.

This very well might be my favorite Hole song and I liked - LIKE - Hole.

[@sstaners1234]

20 years in the Dakota is actually my favorite Hole song that should have been on an album. It’s heavy and great Ode to John and Yoko.

[@venenoparahadas]

I love how her voice breaks at chorus

[@liat7518]

i wish i was able to do that. Courtney´s voice is trully one of a kind

[@roskvamoller6655]

This song is just the bomb

[@jdgtimesavetools8282]

I still have this as a 12inch single.... Last two on the B side. Absolutely fucking awesome... The Power and the Despair... Fed me many a night. :)

Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, not afraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it -lady gaga

Balls

[@eloisecannothandlethis]

so true @@starjumpjay

[@venenoparahadas]

ufff those lyrics! this song is SO powerful (L)

[@Aerialgrrl]

In now way knocking LTT, but these three songs should have been on the album proper. If there was any fairness in art, we'd be getting a 30 year anniversary edition of LTT next year which would include these tracks and and a lot of others.

[@bbbydolll]

[@Oc3ans0fst4rs]

[@hanajinks1044]

Beautiful Son is about Kurdt..

[@nihlisdead88]

Kinda a weird coincidence that kurt was found a year after this

[@notsure6187]

nihl Nietzsche not really, if you knew anything about coincidences

[@xxstarxxxxchildxx1045]

go back to nirvana and foo fighters 😘

[@p4horror]

Old Age is a Nirvana song.

[@jirikana9017]

Actually, it's a song Kurt gave Courtney to finish and use..

[@raymondhartmeijer9300]

there is a Nirvana studio take of it, but it's very basic. No further work was done on the song then, it seems. Different lyrics too

[@adamraunic5993]

Its a song Kurt started and then gave Courtney to use and finish. Courtney completely rewrote the lyrics and she and Hole redeveloped the song.

[@venenoparahadas]

@@adamraunic5993 Exactly! An the lyrics are so AWESOME, why is people so obsessed with this, it is just a man composing with her wife, it happens all the fkn time when you both are musicians.

[@yepperdeedooda]

A nice collage she made after she destroyed his will to live.

[@sebbo85]

read a book

[@madisonanderson8859]

Ксения Ковалевская . Courtney did not destroy him. The drugs did

[@madisonanderson8859]

Ignorant

[@kumidodasilva6241]

I can not say that I agree with you because Kurt choose her and he is the only responsable for his choices.. but I can see your point of view and I respect it.. you have the right to express your opinion.. and in my opinion the people that call you ignorant are more ignorant than you do..

[@kevinp4120]

I just added this CD to my collection. Love it. ❤️❤️

[@davidgammon9751]
