COURTNEY LOVE SLAMS NIRVANA/PAUL McCARTNEY PERFORMANCE

Paul McCartney performed an original song with the three surviving members of Nirvana on Wednesday night at the 12-12-12 Hurricane Sandy benefit concert. The musical collective wrote the song ‘Cut Me Some Slack’ during an impromptu jam session for Dave Grohl’s upcoming Sound City Studios documentary, later debuting the track live at the televised benefit.

Although the song proved to be impressive to say the least, Courtney Love went public beforehand to say that she was against the idea. Love told TMZ that she was “not amused” by Paul McCartney’s involvement, although she added: “Look, if John [Lennon] were alive it would be cool.”

Shortly after the performance of ‘Cut Me Some Slack’, Courtney Love posted a long series of comments on the Facebook page for ‘Everybody Loves Our Town: An Oral History of Grunge’, which had just posted about the aforementioned TMZ article. Below is a compilation of her comments.
