La La Love for Courtney

Last time I saw Courtney Love up close, she was wearing devil horns and a blood-red gown while tearing through some really sloppy but goosebump-giving rendition of "House of the Rising Sun" at The Wiltern in L.A. That was Halloween 2004, and ever since then the sporadic bloggy gossip about the Widow Cobain's latest bad news have had me biting my nails to the quick. I love Courtney so much, even when it's hard (and it most often is, because everyone always thinks you're legit bananas). But my favorite thing is how she always comes back to kick ass just when you're sure she's gotta be down for the count - which she seems to have done yet again.

Our most recent glimpse at Miss World, the just-shot YouTube clip below shows her all cleaned up and shiny and very reminiscent of her Golden-Globe-nod-scoring, Edward-Norton-dating, Bazaar-cover-appearing self of 10 years back. It's glammy in this classy, understated way that might seem completely out of place on her if she didn't wear it so well. And the song sounds damn good too.

Apparently Courtney's going to be making an appearance at the Linda Perry show tomorrow night at the House of Blues on Sunset Strip. I'll be on the other side of town, catching the insanely awesome lineup of Matt & Kim, Japanther, No Age, and Mika Miko at The Echo, but a big part of my heart will be with Courtney and what will hopefully mark her next crazy comeback.
