Courtney Love was too poor to buy shoes

Courtney Love claims that people took such advantage of her financially, that she was left too poor to even afford shoes.

She says her new song, “Never Go Hungry” was written about her time of hardship when she and daughter Frances Bean Cobain had one pair of shoes between them.

She said, “I wrote ‘Never Go Hungry’ all by my lonesome, in rehab, sitting there f***ing Orange County with a s**t guitar and no pick. It’s about my daughter. And it’s about how we were; they were just awful to us. We were just so broke. I vowed that we would never go hungry again, because we went hungry. I didn’t have any f***ing shoes! I had a pair of Converse that they gave me. That’s what I had. Frances didn’t have any shoes. We had one pair of shoes.”

She goes on to reveal that the reason behind her being broke was that she was exploited by so many people. She added, “Why did I have no money? The simple answer to that is because I’m a widow and because I’m a woman. I get exploited. Not when I’m playing music. But financially, very much so.”

I hope she releases “Nobody’s Daughter” soon!
