Hole

M.I.A. tweeted Lynn Hirschberg’s phone number as payback for Hirschberg’s Times Magazine piece and because of all that I found this cool profile of Courtney Love: Courtney Love is late. She’s nearly always late, and not just ten, fifteen minutes late, but usually more than an hour past the time she’s said she’ll be someplace. She’s late for band rehearsal’s, she was late when she used to strip, she was even an hour late for a meeting with a record company executive who wanted to sign her band, Hole. Courtney assumes that people will wait. She assumes that people will forgive her as they stare at the clock and stare at the door and wonder where the hell she is. And they do forgive her. Until they can’t stand it anymore and then get mad, fed up, and move on. But by that time Courtney is gone – she’s off keeping someone else waiting.
