Courtney Love Plays Birthday Gig, Drunkenly Talks NME‘s Ear Off

C. Love's got a new record coming out -- some of which actually sounds pretty good -- but it's her time offstage rather than on that keeps her in the limelight. She's got talent, all; when it comes to babbling/typing incoherently while intoxicated, she's a bona fide star. And here's one more for the memory files: Courtney played a surprise gig on her birthday last night in west London's "Bush Hall," after which NME caught up with her backstage for this heart-to-heart. That's Noel from the Mighty Boosh.
