“Rapists!” slurred Courtney.
Courtney Love, aka “90’s Lindsay Lohan”, has lashed out at the producers of last year’s The Muppets movie for letting the titular stars perform a rendition of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” without her permission.
Crackie Courtney ranted to entertainment gutter trap, TMZ, that she alone had final say on who could perform hits from the Nirvana catalogue, given she was Kurt Cobain’s wife, and the mother of his child. She did not, she says, give permission for Disney, or anyone, to “rape” (her actual words) “Kurt’s memory!”
Wow.
A couple of things, Courtney:
First, you sold off the rights to Nirvana’s entire music catalogue to a music distributor called Primary Wave after Nirvana broke up. Remember?
Second, despite having full rights to distribute the song, Primary Wave still approached two actual surviving members of Nirvana, Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic, for their okay to use the song, which they gave. Dave Grohl even appears in the movie! Still with us?
Finally, even though you bravely fought your way out of a meth dream to deliver your (incoherent) verdict on the matter, you and your daughter Frances, will still receive a healthy royalty cheque from the use of the song in The Muppets. Sparse compensation for the “rape” of someone’s memory, I’m sure, but there you have it.
While Courtney puts all that in her pipe and smokes it (not cool! -Ed), here’s a bootleggy version of the very song that got her so riled up:
