Today, she shares stories about her life as musician, actress, and widow of rock icon Kurt Cobain, some of which are detailed in her new book "Dirty Blonde: The Diaries of Courtney Love." Also: Marisa Monte, an opera-trained pop samba fusionist from Brazil, joins us as she embarks on her first Ameriacn tour in six years. Her seductive voice is showcased on two very different new albums - one being a collection of samba songs and another featuring contemporary pop hits.
