Ask anyone in the Minneapolis/Portland/Seattle music scene who worked with her back in the day...you'll hear some stories. The whole Cobain conspiracy aside, it is a well-known and undisputed fact that she ripped off the Butthole Surfers and Babes In Toyland (who she left with the bill!!) by stealing the take from one of their shows in Mpls to stake her move to beautiful Portland, OR in 1988. Ripping off your fellow artists to advance your career and fund your relocation is despicable, but also the LEAST punk rock thing I can think of. At least for the true meaning of punk, not what Hot Topic tells you what it is. She also has 75% of the proceeds from Nirvana's catalog, so she's doing very well for herself, despite your concern.

Yoko Ono rules and is a thousand times more punk rock than Courtney Love. Listen to that solo record and you'll understand. Also, those side 1 tracks have maybe the best John Lennon guitar riffs and Ringo Starr drum parts on any post-Beatles record.
