"I fucking hate this city!" said by Courtney Love while touring with M.M. on Hole's Beautiful Monsters tour in 1999.

She got Booed hardcore that night.

I think someone threw a shoe at her if I remember correctly. Or did she throw a shoe at them? Can't quite remember . . .

She was premature - 1999 was probably the apex of Portland's coolness before the New York Times wrote about it and the hipsters invaded with their fixies, American Spirits, too-tight jeans, and taste for vegan food.

Courtney was always broke and scamming drinks over there. She danced at Mary's for a little bit too I think.

If you're ashamed you know it, why admit it?

Was Dita von Teese dancing at the 'Crop when Manson met her? And when was that, exactly?

No, he took her there because of the nice steak.

The steaks are grown in cows on their family farm out in Boring or whatever.

And my brother-in-law, the OSHA inspector, has some... interesting... stories about that farm.

Might want to be careful what you eat at the 'Crop. Just sayin'.

The Marilyn Manson/Dita Von Teese story is true.

The Kurt/Courtney one, however, is false. They were already acquainted (they had met in LA), but Courtney, still being in the area of Portland, involved with the music scene, happened to go and see Nirvana when they played The Satyricon, as she knew of Kurt. They ended up wrestling on the floor at some point.

I'm of the opinion that local music knowledge credibility is about impossible to dispute with you. Can't quite put my finger on why. *laugh*

I'm proud to admit, I'm actually wrong about a great many things, music trivia included. I like it when people correct me. It means someone's paying attention :)
