Who are your heroes?

why is courtney love your hero

Read the first line. I don't have heroes. That is a list of people I find inspirational in different ways.

Courtney inspires me because of her determination to get where she wanted to be despite all the shit she had been through. She loved Kurt despite all his issues (Courtney had been clean for a year when she met Kurt...and knew that being with him meant using again), she managed to make a great album (Live Through This) despite all the problems from the media. (There was a bullshit article in Vanity Fair which claimed she was using while pregnant which wasnt true, and based solely on this article they took Frances Bean Cobain away from Kurt and Courtney for a while....based on a fucking magazine article!!)

If you ever read the transcript of her speech about Napster and file-sharing a few years ago you would see that she is a highly intelligent woman...most people don't give her credit for all she's done.

I respect her for being able to put up with all the shit...whenever something happens to a famous male rock star the woman always gets blamed. Yoko didn't break up The Beatles, Courtney was in no way responsible for Kurt killing himself and Sid Vicious didn't kill Nancy Spungen.

She's also a fucking fantastic actress and has stolen the show in nearly every movie she's been in.

I could go on. I read her biography recently also...a very very inspirational read for sure.
 
Kurt is on the list because he blew his brain out. Thats inspirational.

I was waiting for the first lamer to say that.

Tupac was convicted of sexual assault and shot dead. I guess that's all there was to him. He must not be inspirational at all. :rolleyes:

Ever thought maybe Kurt did something in the 27 years before he died?
 
Ever thought i wasnt serious?

Ever thought i don care?

I knew you weren't serious. I just thought it was a really lame thing to say. You made a very poor and obvious joke for the sole purpose of trying to belittle someone.

I just expected better, that's all.
 
Tupac
Bruce Lee
Morrissey

... are who I would call my heros, though like Militant I prefer to think of them as inspirators. I don't do the whole Idol worship thing ...
I'm past all of that, and now I'm into learning and finding out what made them tick; I've narrowed it down to philosophy and semantics - wether or not they are related in this sense I don't know yet, and am still trying to figure out.
