If you ever needed proof that Linda Perry was an idiot..

This quote should suffice:

"I think we made a beautiful, vibey, magical record," Perry says. "Courtney Love's name should be right next to Bob Dylan when they say best lyricist of all time."

well, if you happen to be in the bay area on november 4, you can certainly ask courtney love:

Saturday, November 4 - Courtney Love
7:00 - 9:00 PM at Cody's Fourth Street in Berkeley
COURTNEY LOVE arrives at Cody's to sign copies of DIRTY BLONDE: The Diaries of Courtney Love. Groundbreaking rock musician. Award-winning actress. Perceptive songwriter and author. Mother. Wife of a rock god. Fashionista and trendsetter. Provocateur. In each of these roles, Courtney Love has demonstrated a wholehearted commitment to her art, and an intense drive and lust for life that have made her a star and celebrity icon but have also led her into some unwise, uncharted, and dangerous territory. Simultaneously candid and enigmatic, Love is undeniably compelling, her mordant wit and vivid intelligence matched in intensity only by the extraordinary life she's led. DIRTY BLONDE is a kind of impromptu memoir, one composed on deeply personal artifacts, and shows Love's accomplishments, her mistakes, her history, and her future. Ranging from her upbringing in Oregon through her years of living in Japan, New Zealand, and London, from her career highs with Hole and as a Hollywood leading lady to her personal heartbreak and struggles, DIRTY BLONDE is Love laid bare - a wholly fascinating portrait of a fierce and insightful woman with an unblinking worldview and a determination to express herself no matter the cost. Please note: this is a signing; there will be no reading or performance. Only copies of DIRTY BLONDE will be signed; no memorabilia. Inside signing line will form at 6:00 PM on November 4; books will be available for purchase beginning October 31. 7:00 - 9:00 PM at Cody's Fourth Street, Berkeley

I can agree with all that except "fashionista."

Where were you when "What's Up" clogged the airwaves?

Or first heard James Blunt… I always skip over track two on Cheap Tricks new record.

A few minor edits . . .

COURTNEY LOVE arrives at Cody's to sign copies of DIRTY BLONDE: The Diaries of Courtney Love. Derivitive rock leech. Award-winning "actress" (occasionally filmed playing self). Perceptive songwriter and author. Mother. Downfall of a rock god. Fashionista and skank. Yoko. In each of these roles, Courtney Love has demonstrated a wholehearted commitment to connivance, her art, and an intense drive and lust for life that have made her a star and sloppy junkie icon but have also led her into some unwise, uncharted, and dangerous territory. Simultaneously candid and overrated, Love is undeniably annoying, her actually decent wit and self-proclaimed vivid intelligence matched in intensity only by the extraordinary life she led between, let's say October 1991 and August 1994. DIRTY BLONDE is a kind of impromptu memoir, one composed on deeply personal artifacts, wildly embellished or made up stories, and shows Love's accomplishments, her mistakes, her history (real and imagined), and her future. Ranging from her upbringing in Oregon through her years of living in Japan, New Zealand, and Rehab, from her career highs with those pretty good Hole songs she wrote while sucking the life out of Cobain, and as a person in a few Hollywood movies to her personal heartbreak and struggles and extended fade into oblivion, DIRTY BLONDE is Love laid bare - a wholly fascinating portrait of a fierce and insightful woman with an unblinking need for attention a determination destroy everything in her wake and to express herself no matter the cost to decency, art, etc. Please note: this is a signing; there will be no reading or performance or talent. Only copies of DIRTY BLONDE will be signed; no memorabilia. Inside signing line will form at 6:00 PM on November 4; books will be available for purchase beginning October 31. 7:00 - 9:00 PM at Cody's Fourth Street, Berkeley
