Courtney Love Tries to Salvage Career: Reenlists Billy Corgan, Channels Johnny Cash and Elliott Smith 

The year of the monkey has been no good for Courtney Love. In 2004 Love has been in and out of rehab, court and her mind; lost and regained custody of Frances Bean; and released an abysmal solo effort, America's Sweetheart. But we haven't heard the last from her yet, as her resolution for 2005 is to reinvigorate her career. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Love lays out plans to record an album with some of rock's heaviest hitters. She wants to use the producer who makes everyone's greatest album, Rick Rubin as well as half of Jane's Addiction -- Dave Navarro and Stephen Perkins. Give her some credit for recognizing her limitations, as she is reenlisting Billy Corgan to write the songs for the new album. Love says she wants her songs to be narrative like Elliott Smith's and also mentions wanting to record in a prison. Hmm, Johnny Cash? Maybe she should try being herself? Oh yeah, nevermind.

Comments:
I saw Billy Corgan with "Zwan" - they were just AWFUL. He's in need of some career resurrection himself.
 
Noone has any right to insult Billy Corgan. he is a lyrical genius and a kick ass performer.
he has earned everyones respect ,and what the fuck makes you think you have the right to say that you fucking bushwacking,
little shithead? do you think your better than him or something?

Billy is a fantastic song writer and he is the only reason Hole ever had any real success- he f'n wrote Celebrity SKin.
