And when NIN sing it in Starfuckers inc. it's about Courtney Love

Tori Amos also wrote a song about Courtney Love where she calls her a “starfucker.” Called “Professional Widow.”

I know the story

I didn't. I know she's used "pretty hate machine" in "Caught a Lite Sneeze" and also "nine inch nails" in "Precious Things." I knew "Professional Widow" was about Courtney Love but didn't know NIN had also written a song called "Starfuckers" which solidifies why she used that lyric.

You know it's Trent doing backing vocals in "Pass the Mission" and I'm sure "A Sorta Fairytale" is about Trent
