I was just reading about the jobs musicians had before they became famous, and read about Courtney Love and her days as a stripper:
"Before she made it in music, Courtney Love earned a lucrative career as a stripper. Stripping helped fund her passion and the money she saved, she then ploughed into helping Hole launch their career. She once told LA Weekly: “I got to work in the day. To me back then, 300 bucks in a day was fine. I was able to do the kind of stripper economy which is … for every $5 I made, I would give Eric Erlandson three of them and that’s how we bought our van and we bought our backline. “
She commented on another occasion: “Stripping funded my band. There was a lot of temptation in terms of drugs back then. I was like, OK, when I make a million dollars, then I’ll do all the drugs I want. Which I did, by the way.”
