Rocker Courtney Love said she auditioned for the Mickey Mouse Club as a child on Jimmy Kimmel Live Thursday.

Love, who looked fresh and relaxed, told Kimmel that at the time she was 10-years-old, she thought her name was weird — so she adopted the name, “Coco Rodriguez.”

She said that she traveled from Portland, Oregon to Seattle , Washington for the audition, and being ahead of her time, she read a poem by Sylvia Plath — about incest — to try and win a spot on the show. It didn’t work.

“I think it’s better you weren’t in the Mickey Mouse Club,” Kimmel joked. “I think it would have hurt your cred a little bit.” (While Courtney didn’t make the cut, big music stars such as Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera all got their show biz feet wet in mouse ears.)
