an ad for courtney's love's single 'hold on to me', 2004.
written about russell crowe after a poetry-fuelled night following the 2001 golden globes.
"I didn’t have anybody to write about. I wanted something that was fresh, passionate, lusty, loving, and all night long he held me and I cried. I wrote poetry everywhere - on his shirt, on the wall, everywhere. And I just cried and cried because I had not met another person who had eyes like mine, ever. We didn’t fuck. We hung out, wrote crazy lyrics and poetry, drank tequila. And so I had this idea and I had the chorus and the next day I went into a studio and recorded it, and the lyrics came to me. Even just holding his hand I get shivers. He goes through hell. But I don’t know if he’s seen as many dead bodies as I have."
in the dead of winter, dead of night, he's all that i can see.

So kick out the jams, kick up the soul
Pour another glass of that rock and roll
Turn up the band, fire in the hole
Gonna lose control tonight
What do you want from me? I'm not America's sweetheart
So beat the drum with me, I'm not America's sweetheart

In what world is taylor swift considered a tortured poet? Tortured is burroughs on heroin, is sylvia's head in the oven, is hunter s thompsons sheer lunacy, is lynch saying he'll shoot himself if he forgets a good idea, is bukowski being a deadbeat misogynist fuck up, is a beat poet in psychosis, is 27 club, is junkie scholar, is manic depressive diagnoses, is active drug dependency, is suicidal ideations. For a beloved world famous white girl popstar to take on the title of the tortured poet is the ultimate bastardization of the tortured poet...
