8 Musicians With Bizarre (And Fascinating) Alter Egos

5. Courtney Love Goes A Little Kookoo

Okay, I'll try and explain this one as a coherently as I can, but Courtney Love's explanation of the thing isn't making it easy. Known for her outlandish, controversial acts and statements (she once accused The Muppets of €œraping the memory of Kurt Cobain€) Love once revealed that many of these eccentricities are actually being carried out by her alter ego, a woman named Cherry Kookoo. In a rather incoherent post on her blog, Love created and destroyed her alter ego seemingly within seconds (I'm not really sure, it's kind of hard to understand what on earth she's saying). Try and decipher it for yourself:
"just want to hank allyou supportive lovely people and thank you for putting up with my kookoo bananas alter ego should; we give her a name? shoudl we give my alter ego a name? hmnmmmm Cherry! €œCherry kookoo€ so if /when im overcome and blog again wich i wont do i took a picture of a friend looking at me rather sternly to remind me not to- well know it was Cherry Kookoo"
All right, Courtney. Whatever you say.
