His guitar parts are hauntingand beautiful. It was me, him, Linda and 2000 lesbians and the songsare dramatically different from the demos. It was fucking historic,Billy played 'Can't Find My Way Home' by Blind Faith and Lindaplayed 'Beautiful' and 'What's Going On'. It was such a cool livingroom vibe. The songs are smashing now. I wouldn't fuck around here,this is the best shit I've done since the 'Live Through This' period."She continued: "It's hard to sell six-minute new songs and you couldhave heard a pin drop although apparently there was speculation aboutwhether I was wearing underwear. Look I've been wearing short skirtsonstage forever and and obviously I wear panties. Christ!"Courtney Love is currently working on songs for her second soloalbum, which carries the working title 'How Dirty Girls Get Clean'.The comeback process is being filmed for a Channel 4 documentary.
