"Strange Love," by Lynn Hirschberg, Vanity Fair, September 1992... Can be found in its entirety here: http://homepage.mac.com/kia/magick/courtney.html
Here is and how, that fun read concludes: "Things are really good. It's all coming true." Courtney laughs. "Although it could fuck up any time. You never know."

mikedreams on... re: Reading 1994 -- Several bands there that weekend I saw at Lollapalooza the following summer: Cypress Hill, Pavement, Elastica, Hole.
From my Turpentine intro (2011-12-11): Big H-fan from back in the crack of dawn -- on a dare to myself, I got 'Pretty On The Inside' when it came out. Saw the band at Lollapalooza, Great Woods
7.25.95. It's absolutely in the Top 10 shows I ever saw. Twas the most moving certainly. I've had in interest in Ms. Love ever since, but never again with the same nearly all-consuming fire.
So glad I lived through 'Live Through This.' And yet still here I am burning black for more...
Night fell back then and Hole opened me up. Courtney was in total control. Now like many I had been profoundly affected when Kurt died the year before. I can't say I felt his spirit that night or
anything. Only in her songs, her singing, her ringing guitar. I did feel Courtney's spirit flying up through the stands and through me like a turbine fan all night long. I was blown away, in tears
for much of the show. I was overcome with deep sorrow and amazing joy. The air was heavy and light at the same time. The night was heavy with tragedy, yet so light from uplifting magical
magnificence.
When Hole gave us their all, we gave it up and walked out. Sonic Youth, the headliners, a dear fav of mine from the recent past but who'd by then past it, were on next. But there was no way I was
going out like that. Hole was the best band in the land. I never wanted to come down off that. They were the true headliners. Sonic Youth got that slot like a victory lap they had earned long ago.
I preferred to leave on a winning note. Half the audience split as well. We rode off into the night with her light forever burning bright inside us...
