Neil Young gets credit for helping Courtney kick drugs

NY POST...PAGE 6

NEIL Young gets the credit for helping Courtney Love kick her drug habit. "When I was in rehab, I had some really cool CDs with me," the rock widow told Steppin' Out magazine. "I had Dylan and I had R.E.M. and I had Neil Young's 'Decades.' I put on 'Decades' and I heard 'Old Man.' It was 5 in the morning and I was kicking Xanax, and it was a [bleep]ing nightmare, and I saw Neil standing above me. And I was like, 'Neil, you're God! This is great!' . . . And that was huge. I thought, 'I can do this. I can get through this, and Neil is going to get me through' . . . It was a deeply spiritual thing. It was cool." Love acknowledges she has become pathetic. "People have been watching the spectacle of me for free for years . . . I'm sort of sick of letting them exploit me. These are things that are passing. I was really [bleep]ed up. I started doing coke, which is just stupid. I can't even tell you how embarrassing it all is. Carrie Fisher came over to my house and yelled in my room, 'I can't believe you're taking the most embarrassing drug in the world!' I was in there dying of shame. That stuff just makes you come to a bad end."

Wow. Just...wow. I wonder if Carrie Fisher really came to her house, or if that's as real as the giant Neil Young?

hahaha
i know that carrie fisher is her neighbor and that frances bean is friends w/ carrie's kids.
a question i'm wondering is if frances bean is living with courtney or with family?

I'm not 100% sure, but I think Kurt's mom has custody of Frances Bean. For good reason, because I wouldn't entrust my cat to Courtney Love.;p

Frances lives with her grandfather, who is courtneys ex-step father. She does not live with Kurts mom. CL apparently lives across the street in another house/apartment.

Once you've done heroin, it is.
[info]save 13th-Dec-2004 03:38 am (UTC)
Really? Is it more embarrassing than heroin? Or is it, like, "Hah! Pussy. Doing coke."
[info]katconfessional 13th-Dec-2004 03:40 am (UTC)
More like: Hah! Pussy. Doing coke.

After all, if you're going to fuck yourself up with drugs, it might as well be the creme de la creme of drugs!

You learn something new about the drug world every day!

YEAH, COURTNEY YOU SHOULD BE DOING MUCH COOLER DRUGS.

"People have been watching the spectacle of me for free for years . . . I'm sort of sick of letting them exploit me."

?
WHAT!?
[info]tattoosfade 13th-Dec-2004 01:01 am (UTC)
what?
[info]witherxaway 13th-Dec-2004 01:02 am (UTC)
she went out on her own free-will, im assuming. Why would others be exploiting HER!?
Personally i dont enjoy seeing her when she's all coked out.
[info]tattoosfade 13th-Dec-2004 03:03 am (UTC)
... you're right. she should have just sat at home. (?)

"Old Man" or perhaps "The Needle and The Damage Done"?

... or this used to be a pop star. and this is a used to be pop star on drugs.
[info]tattoosfade 13th-Dec-2004 03:05 am (UTC)
she was a rockstar.

pshh ; )
[info]thevulture 13th-Dec-2004 03:39 am (UTC)
Yeah hardly a fucking popstar
[info]save 13th-Dec-2004 03:40 am (UTC)
Yeah, I'd definitely like to know who decided Courtney Love was a pop star. And I'd also like to know when Courtney Love ever looked like Britney Spears.
[info]lagnolalia 13th-Dec-2004 04:03 am (UTC)
Heh heh.
[info]a_powdered_nose 13th-Dec-2004 03:11 am (UTC)
She is right about one thing ... coke rarely makes for happy endings. But before the end comes, you've never felt so fucking wonderful in your entire life. Hence my username.
[info]save 13th-Dec-2004 03:41 am (UTC)
This gives me the opportunity to tell you again that I like your username. More now than before.
[info]a_powdered_nose 13th-Dec-2004 07:17 pm (UTC)
Danke :)
And this gives me the opportunity to tell you once again that your icons are beautiful, this one in particular.
[info]norabombay 13th-Dec-2004 06:12 am (UTC)
I think it has to do with the fact that there is no such thing as "Too Much Coke". While even Heroin has an upper limit to what you can consume.

Personally Courtney has been entertaining me for a decade. Because she's just as crazy sober as she is messed up.
[info]villainousduck 13th-Dec-2004 06:14 pm (UTC)
And I was like, 'Neil, you're God! This is great!'

haha best line ever.

Man...when PRINCESS LEIA tells you you're fucking up...& you're not a 13-year-old boy from 1978....YEAH.
