Love claimed the story was totally false, and seethed over the whole episode, at one point writing a song called “Bring Me The Head Of Lynn Hirschberg.” Love claimed the story was totally false, and seethed over the whole episode, at one point writing a song called “Bring Me The Head Of Lynn Hirschberg.”
