She said Madonna was a great businesswoman, but a "joke" when it came to being a "relevant musician." Somehow, Courtney has decided that Madonna "never sings from her gut or heart or intuition," which is her major problem with the pop star's music.

This makes sense -- after all, Courtney Love is a shining example of artistic integrity. Nobody has ever accused her of having her boyfriends, husbands, or other musicians write her albums for her or anything.

Oh, sorry... I have an adverse reaction to artificial indoor heat that makes me cough sometimes. Where was I? Oh yes, Courtney Love, artiste.

Here's her extremely articulate philosophy on how to work, and why she is better than Madonna. I think:

ambition and sass and shrewd does not equal great art- hard work and major dsicipline doesnt equal great art and all of those are great things- i covet them i have great disciplne and i do work like a bionic thing.

This is sort of like the written version of one of those magic eye paintings... every time you look at it, you see something different. That said, I'd really like to know how a bionic... thing... works. For that matter, I'd like to know what a bionic thing is, beyond some random figment of Courtney Love's imagination.

A so-called friend of Madonna's has written a book, called Madonna: Like an Icon, in which she reveals that interesting fact, in addition to the following claim:

She was going out with him... but homegirls were saying to him, 'I can't believe you're going out with a white girl,' - so she got dumped!

And that was the last time a black guy ever fell for a white girl.

So let me get this straight. In the last year of his life, Tupac released "California Love" and dated Still-Attractive Madonna? I don't know why everyone feels so bad for him. The guy went out on top.
