Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Kurt says: "How much uncalculated behavior do you see in rock concerts anymore?"
I think: "Nothing Courtney does is uncalculated."

Ann, that's a ferret.
I think: "Nothing Courtney does is uncalculated."
Just don't ask me to look at her calculator.

I insist that you look at her Texas Instruments!

So all the stuff last week was part of her cunning plan to get back custody of her kid? No doubt she's image conscious, and the image she wants to project is put-upon rebel it seems, but I think she's genuinely fucked up and OOC. I'm certainly not above a little schadenfreude, or at least not above laughing at the spectacle if not actually enjoying another's pain, but this is sad. And poor Frances Bean! The tenth anniversary of Kurt's suicide will get a lot of media time & her mother's disintegrating in public. Poor kid. I don't think it's an act. If it is it's like a drunk pretending to be sober: "Got 'em all fooled."

Well, I'd agree with all of those statements: image conscious, put-upon rebel, genuinely fucked up and out of control. But her desperate need for attention and celebrity drives the fucked up and out of control. That's the calculation I see - she's getting press. She acts out and she gets attention and that's what she craves.
but this is sad. And poor Frances Bean!
Yeah. Kurt's mom seemed pretty level headed, but it's hard enough being the child of a suicide without your Mom being on a permanent bender.

"Why do the facts hate America?" - Jon Stewart
I don’t care who wrote what, “Live Through This” is still one of my favorite albums of all time.
I’m sure some of what she does is quite calculated, but right now all I think she’s doing is imploding. I feel bad for her and bad for her kid, but still can’t look away from the train wreck.
Also, I just found out my husband has finished downloading Wilco’s latest album. He makes such valuable use of his work time! And I can’t wait to hear it…

Yeah, I don't think what she's doing now is calculated. She's a drugged up mess and I feel bad for her and worse for her kid.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Just wait 'til Frances Bean gets old enough to write a tell-all book about her childhood....
