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?

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.

Really? Is it more embarrassing than heroin? Or is it, like, "Hah! Pussy. Doing coke."

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!

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.

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.

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.
