"How dirty girls get clean..."

Who gives a shit if it's on her new album? Listen Chip, Enuff Z'Nuff with Courtney. I don't hate women or womyn, just shittacular music like this and the new Beastie Boys album.

Everyone waits to hate. But the lyrics are excellent and her voice is pure to my ears. Why doesn't everyone get back to talking about that disingenuous Pumpkins record with its "St. Anger"-esque production - and how TERRIBLE that is. I'm not surprised there is a bunch of haters waiting to pounce, it's par for the course with Courtney. But I'm happy as all get-out about this DEMO and her forthcoming album.

not too bad. i love the patty smith/polly jean feel. even more, i like the page design of her name above her head. seems to function as a halo. so holy.

Reminds me of PJ Harvey's "C'mon Billy" or "Send His Love To Me".. any of PJ's harder acoustic stuff.

i hope it's not completely gauche to point out that even if she and dylan carlson didn't kill kurt cobain (and everyone's skeptical, right?) -- well, even if she didn't, it still makes me sick to see her creepy face posted all over the internet.

song could be good. but the over-loud breathing shit is dumb and it needs a bridge. she should rework it a bit.

Courtney is a goddess, i for one love the song. Can't wait till her next album. It's sad how people overlook her talent, due to her reputation

Kind of sounds like PJ to me! Its one of her worst songs, but I still LOVE Courtney's work. But I think she should just be HERSELF! Not try to imitate people or try to be "the female Kurt." (Because that is just stupid-trying to be the female Kurt)

I agree with K she's the best and the only rock star
now, ...or gimme another fuckin name of a rockstar...there's no one that conserve the fuckin rock alive, the fuckin artists of these days sucks, and aaaaalllll are popstar "triyng to be rockstars" with their fuckin new styles of pop...so shut up motherfuckers ...courtney is the unique rock singer that mantains the rock alive.

Courtney fuckin rocks man!!! And she isn't trying to be the female kurt. Kurt was great, but you forget. Her first album 'Pretty on the inside', was before she even met Kurt. And than, was considered a ground-breaking rock album. Courtney was the queen of Grunge, and just like Kurt, she altered her style. Cause, Nirvana is great no-one ever talked trash about them, because they changed their sounds. Compare Nevermind with In Utero. Totally different. So what? They were both good albums. Compare the Hole records, with the Courtney solo records. Totaly different. So FUCKING what? I think courtney made good changes througout the years.. Let her be
(ow, and before some smartass, is going to say anything about the grammar. I'm dutch.. let it be man)

I think that she is so much older now... and thats her musik too. if she's thinkin that that all sounds good, she's gonna make that musik. either you like it.. or not. i like it because courtney love is still courtney love and not someone else.

I see that most of you who are saying things like," This song sucks." are males. Inferior males in fact. Your all idiots who know nothing about music, so shut the fuck up and go away. Nobody cares about what you think anyway. It's a great fucking song. I'm a guitar genius so I know what the fuck I'm talking about. Courtney rules womens rock.

This song is great, its a demo, and if you keep listening too it, it will really grabs you time and time again. At first I thought it was a bit overlong, but then I started listening to it more and more and its one of my favorite songs by her (that and Sunset Marquis).

yeah, i think people have to realize that this is a demo and the song is actually not that bad. it's not spectacular...but it's pretty good. i'm glad she is going for more of a singer songwriter approach for the new album....America's Sweetheart was way too rockstar

the song itself isn't terrible but the chorus makes me laugh. her voice just sounds like shit to me when it gets stretched out like that. pseudo-screaming=not a nice sound.
