Courtney Love has responded to recent comments from Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan after he told Rolling Stone he would not be happy with Courtney using his material on new Hole records. “…it would be a real big problem, because I haven’t given my permission,” he said. “I have no interest in supporting her in any way, shape or form. You can’t throw enough things down the abyss with a person like that.”
However, Courtney Love used Facebook yesterday to diffuse any rift in her own inimitable way, writing:
“Dearest Billy:
I love you, I love your strong and eternal heart, even love the f***ed up gnarly amazing magnificent bigger-than-god louder-than-love karma of the songs you write and allow me to fly with. We have again created beauty from the agony between us, all the buried and unburied anguish, all that is true, that is gold, that is meant to be is within this endless and somehow eternal cycle of Billy & Courtney. I hope you will take my sincerest apologies for all the thousand ways I sometimes offend you, because I know you are a king, a prince, and my beautiful noble boy. No one will ever force my hand, nothing will come between the truth of what we are:
Eternal lovers
Eternal fighters
Eternal warriors.
Let the forces and the shock and awe loose from its cages, all credit where it is due. I love and you and can never thank you enough.Your soul (and you know this).
Xxx CLC”
Hole will release their first studio album, ‘Nobody’s Daughter’ in over 10 years in April, which is set to feature songs recorded by Billy Corgan.
