Love Ugliest Dog?

Day in Rock reports: Al Gore's ADD driven cable TV experiment "current" ran a story this week on Courtney Love.

Gotta love the biting humor there but the new cable network does remain practically unwatchable to sober or non-schizophrenic viewers. But that doesn't mean you can't submit your own video footage in hopes that the channel will air it. See the full story link for details.
