LOVE'S DAD HITS BACK

LATEST: COURTNEY LOVE's estranged father has hit out at her claims he is responsible for the drug deaths of music festival goers in 1969, insisting she is trying to discredit a book he is writing about the death of her late husband KURT COBAIN. Love recently claimed she was given acid as a four-year-old and raised allegations HANK HARRISON made a bad batch of LSD that killed four revellers at California's Altamont Music Festival. But Harrison is baffled by the claims. He says, "Courtney is attempting to sully my reputation to nullify my credibility as a journalist and author. She has seen and read my book, LOVEKILLS: THE ASSASSINATION OF KURT COBAIN, and is petrified that it might come out by some major publisher, especially in the UK and Territories where she holds sway. "How could any three year old (sic) child remember if she was given LSD or not? She wasn't. "The deaths at Altamont are well documented in the film GIMME SHELTER. THE ROLLING STONES caused the riot, kept the crowd waiting four to five hours, and hired the Hells Angels to guard the stage - a certain formula for disaster. "I was working as a technical documentation specialist and aerospace journalist at the time and had no contact with anyone even using LSD at that time. "LSD, even bad LSD, is very difficult to make. I am a writer not a chemist. I wouldn't even attempt it."
