Neil Young gets credit for helping Courtney kick drugs
NY POST...PAGE 6
NEIL Young gets the credit for helping Courtney Love kick her drug habit. "When I was in rehab, I had some really cool CDs with me," the rock widow told Steppin' Out magazine. "I had Dylan and I had R.E.M. and I had Neil Young's 'Decades.' I put on 'Decades' and I heard 'Old Man.' It was 5 in the morning and I was kicking Xanax, and it was a [bleep]ing nightmare, and I saw Neil standing above me. And I was like, 'Neil, you're God! This is great!' . . . And that was huge. I thought, 'I can do this. I can get through this, and Neil is going to get me through' . . . It was a deeply spiritual thing. It was cool." Love acknowledges she has become pathetic. "People have been watching the spectacle of me for free for years . . . I'm sort of sick of letting them exploit me. These are things that are passing. I was really [bleep]ed up. I started doing coke, which is just stupid. I can't even tell you how embarrassing it all is. Carrie Fisher came over to my house and yelled in my room, 'I can't believe you're taking the most embarrassing drug in the world!' I was in there dying of shame. That stuff just makes you come to a bad end."
