Courtney Love Probably Does Crosswords In Pen, Too

Rolling Stone has put up images of 25 of the ballots from its Greatest Singers Of All Time But Really We Only Mean The Rock Era survey, so amateur graphologists can figure out just what Iggy Pop is trying to say when he writes in all-lowercase or the meaning behind the curly tail on Alice Cooper’s “M”s. My favorite ballot is, of course, Courtney Love’s, in part because her finished product brings the phrase “blotted my copybook” to new heights previously only seen by my Saturday New York Times crossword. Sure, she puts herself at the top of the list, but at least she actually snuck a few under-40s in. Subversive! (Other people who put themselves at No. 1: James Blunt, Sebastian Bach, and Maynard James Keenan, who at least had the guts to let himself stand alone.) [RS]
