I hexed him, now he's losing his hair.\" That's how Hole frontwoman Courtney Love introduced \"Violet\" when Hole played it on Later... with Jools Holland in 1995. This is a pretty clear indication that the song is about Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins, whom Love dated in 1991 before taking up with Kurt Cobain. \n--\nWatch Hole perform \"Violet\" live on Jools Holland in 1995: https://www.facebook.com/rock512mx/videos/hole-violet-live-on-later-with-jools-holland-1995/216612150312602/", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
