Courtney Love Gets Mused by Muse, John Lennon

Green Day aren't the only rockers giving John Lennon's 'Working Class Hero' some modern love. Enter a love of another kind: Courtney Love. The singer-songwriter lists the tune among her all-time favorites, and likens its simplistic yet profound construct to that of another late rocker -- husband Kurt Cobain.

"I'm so envious of 'Working Class Hero,'" she tells Spinner. "It's one of those songs that's so simple, and Kurt was like this -- where he could take three chords and turn them into that. It's just like lightning. I haven't written a 'Working Class Hero.'"

While Love has a laundry list of old faves -- the Kinks' 'Waterloo Sunset,' Leonard Cohen's 'Sisters of Mercy,' Echo and the Bunnymen's 'Killing Moon' and Bob Dylan's 'Tangled Up in Blue' -- there is one current song tickling her fancy.

"The only song that I wish I had written in the last few years was a Muse song -- 'Time is Running Out,'" she says. "I really like that song. I was like, 'Damn, I could've written that if I tried -- if the circumstances were right. That's not outside of my skill set.'"

These are my favorite kind of Courtney interviews, even if what shes saying is bullshit.
I love it when she brings on the bravado.

That was a good song, but she couldn't have written it. It's nothing like her.

She is such a tool.

Maybe she was reading Debaser's thread in the Jukebox titled "Perry Farrell tells of his love for Muse"
