BBC Radio 6 Music - Courtney Love's Women, Episode 4: Heading to Portland

Courtney talks about the formative influence of a period stripping in Japan.

From walking in LA to stripping in Japan, Courtney lifts the lid on her formative years.

Free of incarceration, we join Courtney on a trip to the movies, where she finds a newfound appreciation for New York as well as having some transformational adolescent awakenings. Now in Portland, it’s not long before Courtney is on the move again, this time to Japan after a run-in with the Yakuza, before we take a trip back to California as she reminisces about what it’s like hanging out with Debbie Harry at a Limp Bizkit album launch at the Playboy Mansion. We also hear about her and Pat Smear’s enthusiasm for walking in LA and witness the genesis of another SoCal starlet; Gwen Stefani as Courtney breaks down writing the perfect diss track.
