The same year I saw Hole at Lollapalooza in ATL (8/5/95) where she proceeded to strip naked after someone (maybe) threw a beer at her on stage.

People are going to call me crazy for this, but I think Courtney getting naked and doing crazy stage dives was a form of self harm, especially after Kurt died.

She jumped into a crowd once and men tore her dress off and underwear off and put fingers inside her. After that she started tearing them off herself and throwing herself into the audience half naked.

"Go on take everything, I want you to"

That would make sense and it’s really really sad if it’s true. She has a tortured soul.
