Linda Perry, late of 4 Non Blondes (whose song “What’s Up” is now and will forever be the worst song of all time), is taking on the Herculean task of reviving Courtney Love’s musical career.
Why…?
“That woman is brilliant,” says Perry, “and I can’t allow myself as a music lover and someone who really respects that artist to go down with America’s Sweetheart. That record sucked. She knows it. The world knows it. It was a horrible, crap-ass record.”
Perry, by the way, is the person whose ass you want to kick if you’re sick of hearing James Blunt, as it’s her label that put out his disc…but for someone who’s been responsible for aiding the careers of both Pink and Christina Aguilera (and at least trying to aid the career of Kelly Osbourne), she seems woefully ignorant of the current music scene when speaking of one of her latest label signings: Big Elf.
“They are the Black Sabbath of today,” she says of the group. “Nobody’s doing old-school rock and roll, like with the vibe, the look, the whole thing. So Big Elf is that band.”
Actually, I’m pretty sure Wolfmother is that band…
