I've received a lenghty e-mail message from a performer friend which purports to be a speech attributed to Courtney Love on several aspects of what I would phrase "artist exploitation." I don't want to post it as a thread because I have not verified its authenticity. It could be truthful, or it could be another e-mail hoax. I don't know. Whichever it is, however, it makes interesting reading. If anybody would like to receive it, send me your e-dress and I will forward it to you directly.
