Ahh, the Journals. When I finally gave in and brought it home, I was excited at all the little nuggets of simple wisdom you'd hope to find in a read like this, but the other thing was how embarrassing some of it was. Just so juvenile and silly. The striking part of that bit though, was how adorably human it made him. The whole thing felt spontaneous and real.
Haha, Courtney Love's on the other hand...ouch. Painfully boring, it was like everything she wrote had this self-absorbed agenda, like she was imagining an adoring audience from the future reading it, so she had to be careful what to put down. When shit is that fake, it'll throw the most entertaining of personalities right down the toilet.
