'Get over him': Trolls slam Courtney Love for saying Kurt Cobain and Lana Del Rey are 'the only musical geniuses'
Courtney Love was slammed after she said that she’s only ever known two “true musical geniuses”— her late husband Kurt Cobain and singer Lana Del Rey. Speaking on Marc Maron's WTF podcast, the 58-year-old singer/songwriter said, “Lana and Kurt are the only two true musical geniuses I’ve ever known. And by that I mean they can Spielberg anything.”
The ‘Celebrity Skin’ singer further added, as quoted by Consequence, “[Del Rey’s] got the integrity that Kurt had. The only two people I know that I can say [that about]… By the way, [Michael] Stipe? Bono? Yes, these are people that I know and love. Billie Joe [Armstrong], sure. But Lana? She’s got a magic thing. And she’s not even f**ked up.” Love claimed that she introduced Del Rey to the music of Joni Mitchell. “She described a record she wanted to make to me, and I’m like, ‘Oh you mean 'Hissing Of Summer Lawns,’ which, I don’t even like that record. She’s like, ‘what’s that?’ I’m like, ‘It’s a Joni Mitchell record.’ She’s like, ‘Who’s that?’”
