...With the exception of the short-lived ABC series My So-Called Life, you would have searched the dial long and fruitlessly during those years to find a show that focused on the sort of teenager who might go home after school and find meaning in the words of Courtney Love. Perhaps because TV has always been a few steps behind other media in the race to reprocess and package alternative culture (remember that the women's movement was already in swing in the late 1960s, but you could still tune in to a midriff-baring Barbara Eden addressing Larry...
...most amazing journey of all was taken by COURTNEY LOVE. Last year she was still rock's open wound. Tread-marked and track-marked, widow of Kurt Cobain and primal scream of the rock band Hole, she was the id other rockers warmed their instruments against. This year she's Audrey Hepburn.

Furthermore, Brown claimed, he had a photograph of the craft taken by a "Top-10-university astronomy professor...
...cult members were not dissuaded. When news of their suicide was reported, says Bell, "I started getting a lot of messages saying, 'Art Bell, you killed 39 people.' It's important to understand that the only person who ever said there was a spacecraft following Hale-Bopp was Courtney Brown...
