Although upon first read, it seems Love’s retort was in jest, the Hole frontwoman later elaborated on these claims in a series of Facebook comments, clearly expressing her frustration with the similarities between Rodrigo’s imagery and that of her own band nearly three decades earlier. “Stealing an original idea and not asking permission is rude,” Love wrote in a comment. “There’s no way to be elegant about it. I’m not angry. It happens all the time to me. But this was bad form. That’s not bullying or bomb throwing. This persons music has nothing to do with my life. Possibly never will. It was rude And I gave every right to stick up for my work. Don’t gatekeep me! I’m honorable as fuck to my fellow artists, and I expect the same.”
Love later doubled down on these sentiments, slamming teenage Rodrigo’s Disney background. “I’ve informed her I await her flowers snd note [sic],” the artist replied to a commenter. “I sure hope it’s long . Does Disney teach kids reading and writing ? God knows. Let’s see . Yes this is rude. Rage inducing ? Honey if I had a dollar for everyone this happens ? I’d be real rich !”
So folks, although it may have been a … sour … move if Rodrigo referenced the Hole album without first contacting its creators, remember, imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, especially when it comes to inspiring the young generation of artists. Moral of the story? Let’s refrain from personally insulting teenagers.
