I made it through that tough time by going to so many punk shows with my roommate at various nearby rec centers and 18+ venues, including Canes. I attended the University of San Diego for one year. I’m glad I chose Hole and not Everclear but stand by my opinion that we should eventually cover the Bouncing Souls. I’m supremely honored to participate in this series. Jamie Gadette: Hello! Longtime reader, first time contributor here. Which brings us to the eternal question: Is Hole good? PROSECUTORS Theirs is an intensity that can sometimes be grating, but if it was absent, would we even care?
For these reasons, there’s an intense amalgam of ambition and calculation in each Hole album. Throughout the ‘90s, Love-and by extension, her band-had to fight against an unkind industry and a hostile public that refused to believe that she wrote her own songs. This tainted lens makes it difficult to objectively critique and analyze Hole (let’s all hope that you never hear that sentence from your doctor), but the band’s music is way more than a culmination of a personality, even if the personality is what carried Hole into superstardom. No, my bruv, men do not like Courtney Love. Yes, there are many aesthetic reasons to dislike Hole’s music, but that’s often not what’s on the table when you ask someone whether they like Hole, because the question everybody hears is: do you like Courtney Love?įor men who only see her as the person who figuratively (and in some cases, literally) robbed the world of Kurt Cobain, or the person who did heroin while pregnant, or the person who still hoards the majority of Nirvana’s publishing rights, or a person who has a penchant for saying unhinged and insufferable shit during interviews, that answer is a resounding no. Hole is often a litmus test for dudes, bros, gents, men-a measure with which to gauge acidity. You either love them or hate them, and if you hate them, it’s a good chance that you’re a man.
