Do not ever enable this woman.


Courtney Love is a liar, an addict, a waste of marginal talent, and an embarassing waste of resources.

Who the hell signed Love to an alleged one-off deal to Virgin a few years ago? Does that person have a job?

It would be nice if the grownups in the music industry would start treating their rosters like valuable investments instead of whimsical, disposable unit shifters. How many more drug-addled losers do we have to watch fall apart publicly, when all along there has been a record label backing their downward spiral? People like Courtney Love shouldn't be trusted with anyone's resources. People like Anton Newcombe shouldn't be backed with anyone's money. People like Pete Doherty shouldn't be allowed near anything of shareholder value. Whitney Houston shouldn't be supported in any way until she's proven clean. With the music industry's bottom line where it is, it's time to take a stand against the idiocy that is label-enabled addiction and abuse.
