    she says a lot of important things about Lana, does anyone have a transcript?

    Transcript of Courtney Love's Women on BBC Radio: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001y3tq

    Trying my best to hear what she says, I know some things are incorrect so any corrections are welcome. And I'd appreciate it if any Joni Mitchell fans could help me with the mentioned albums because I'm really not familiar with her discography at all. ^^'

    Just the parts where she talks about Lana, starting at 26:04:

    Big pivot now. So, I didn't rate Lana musically whatsoever. I didn't listen, I heard Video Games on the radio, I thought it was good. I didn't understand the origin story which was- You know, what she did with the trailer park is, in a way, what I do with trailer parks in Alaska, which just have a vision quest[?]. Like. You know, whatever people may think of her going and living in a trailer park and being a bleach blonde, like, and playing indie rock that doesn't work for her. You know, Justin Parker, my co-writer, wrote Born To Die with her. And he told me, and she told Q, "I wrote a hundred-and-sixty-something songs [with] Justin, and we wrote every day", and then she wrote with other [?] and all the same themes. And the same themes, she's writing now. He goes, "she's evolving a lot more, she's really evolving a lot more, she's getting more personal, more back to PJ Harvey in 1993".

    [A&W plays]

    Lana Del Rey really, really helped saved me. She got me here. I was in a very toxic place and she did real friend things, like, real-life friend things, to help get me the hell out of the hell that I was living in. You know, every day that I was detoxing off of Xanax which- I didn't wanna rehab but I got my own rehab, I got a really good injection doctor, I got a great nurse, I got a [on-]site nurse, I, I got- And I was on this weird drug, you couldn't really move, and Francis couldn't drive. And Lana drove Francis almost every day for 90 days out to Malibu. Also, like, she got me to go on Hinge. That was like one of the dumbest things - yeah! - the dumbest things I've every done in my life! And, by the way, you might- You guys might just appreciate this, within ten minutes I had a fresher [ask me]: "Is this Courtney Love?" Like, how do you know who I am, you're twelve!

    Okay. So. I did something for her. She described The Hissing of Summer Lawns to me. I don't like The Hissing of Summer Lawns. But I can remember gentleman David Fricke's review and also non-gentleman Lester Bang's review. And I'm like, "You're talking about Joni Mitchell". She goes, "Yeah, who is that?" And then I said, "My god!". I'm like, "Um, okay, we're gonna deal with this. What Joni do you know?" She's like, "I know Blue?" I'm like, "Okay, it's your day off, I'm gonna change your life". And I bloody well did. She changed mine, and I changed hers. And I went out and I went to every [?] open record store and I bought everything I could get, I got Hejira, I got [?]. She didn't care! She didn't like any of 'em. She liked Ladies of the Canyon, she liked - no - she liked all the same ones as me. She liked Blue, she liked For the Roses, she liked [Morning Mo-what?] All those! She did not like Hejira. And she listened to them and then comes up with Norman effing Rockwell! which is weird in all these ways. Like, why is that fluorescent orang- green on the cover? What-? Okay. But there are so many good songs on that album, it's her finest album to date. And when I heard hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me - and then, why? - "but I have it" because you're Lana and you're optimistic, and I'm Courtney and I'm not, I guess.

    [hope is a dangerous thing plays]

    She name-checked me and I'm like, "is this going in the act?[?]" Okay. But I will say, she couldn't make friends with Joni, but she did make friends with Joan Baez because Joan Baez is really approchable and cool, and one of my favorite artists, and Joni is just not.

    [Dance Till We Die plays]

    Elon [Musk], you're not allowed to call me Court, but Lana, you can call me Court.
