""She was really horrible in the '90s," Love said of Gordon. "I remember in Holland I was hanging out with you, and they [Sonic Youth] were so mean.""
"Gordon said Love had 'tarantula L.A. glamour - sociopathy, narcissism.' Of Del Rey, Gordon originally wrote, 'If she really truly believes it's beautiful when young musicians go out on a hot flame of drugs and depression, why doesn't she just off herself?'""
"Corgan's in the memoir too. 'Courtney asked us for advice about her 'secret affair' with Billy Corgan,' Gordon writes. 'I thought, Ewwww, at even the mention of Billy Corgan, whom nobody liked because he was such a crybaby.'""
"Corgan and Love argue that avoiding being catchy and mainstream is essential to their punk rock identity, which they believe Gordon cannot define."
Courtney Love and Billy Corgan have had a complex relationship characterized by friendship, rivalry, and romance. Their shared animosity towards Kim Gordon is a recurring theme. Love criticized Gordon's behavior in the '90s and suggested that a line in Nirvana's song was aimed at her. Gordon's book also disparages both Love and Lana Del Rey, prompting Love to question Gordon's relevance. Corgan and Love assert that Gordon does not have the authority to define punk rock, emphasizing their own artistic identities.
