Inside Story

Courtney Love, the iconic frontwoman of Hole, recently captivated audiences with her rendition of Bob Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone” during an event in London. The performance was part of a celebration for actor and playwright Todd Almond’s new book, Slow Train Coming, which explores the Dylan-inspired musical Girl from the North Country. ​

Love’s interpretation of the 1965 classic showcased her distinctive vocal style, blending raw emotion with a punk rock edge. The choice of song resonated deeply, reflecting both her personal journey and the timeless relevance of Dylan’s lyrics.​

Beyond the performance, Love shared insights into her upcoming endeavors. She revealed plans to tour in support of her forthcoming solo album, which she hinted might be her final musical project. However, she firmly dismissed the possibility of a Hole reunion, addressing ongoing speculation by stating, “Stop with the Hole thing, stop.”

Love’s choice to cover “Like a Rolling Stone” aligns her with a lineage of artists who have reimagined Dylan’s work, underscoring the song’s enduring impact across generations and genres.
