Who is the queen you ask….according to Linda it’s Courtney Love. This is from the MTV website….
“My dedication right now is to bring back the queen of rock and roll, and that’s Courtney Love,” Perry said at Thursday’s “I Create Music” Expo for songwriters, put on by the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers. “That woman is brilliant, and I can’t allow myself as a music lover and someone who really respects that artist to go down with America’s Sweetheart. That record sucked. She knows it. The world knows it. It was a horrible, crap-ass record.”
Perry, the former 4 Non Blondes singer who has also written and produced for Gwen Stefani and Kelly Osbourne, is in the early stages with the former Hole frontwoman, but she says she’s confident nonetheless.
“She’s really focused, pleasure to be around, looks great, sounds great, really great ideas, great songs she’s written … so rehab was really good,” Perry said, laughing. “My job now is to make that [Courtney Love] rock and roll record that everybody’s gonna love.”
