Courtney Love says "Nevermind" is about her

Courtney Love claims that one of the songs on Nirvana's classic 1991 album, Nevermind, was written about her. Love, who married late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain after the album was released, said that Cobain wrote a number of tracks on the record about his previous girlfriend, Tobi Valli, but did pen one about his future wife. Love explained, "There's only really one about me because it was written late in the day. Most of the songs are about another girl, which is annoying. But I'm not gonna name (which song's about me) because I feel like it's just my secret. A lot of the songs on there aren't even about girl stuff."

Nevermind was released just over 15 years ago, on September 14th, 1991, and became one of the most important and influential rock albums of all time.

Cobain shot himself to death on April 6th, 1994.

Love, who has had a string of legal and financial setbacks over the last few years, recently sold 25 percent of her stake in the Nirvana catalog.

The former Hole frontperson has been working on her second solo album, tentatively titled How Dirty Girls Get Clean.
