I predict that because of statements like this, you will never see female genitalia in person.

It's lamentable that someone of your age ought to resort to that sort of humor, nothing.

I agree.

I mean, "female genitalia?" What's that about? Try "twat" or maybe "gooey hoo-ha fun-hole."

The same.

The single most disturbing thing my mother ever said in my presence was the word "twat."

She was taking a nap in the living room, lying on the couch when my dog Dingo jumped up on her legs. For some reason, Dingo's landing didn't wake her and soon Dingo settled into a spot atop my mother's legs. All of a sudden, my mom pops up and throws Dingo off her. Poor Dingo scampers off to the kitchen, scared shitless.

Then my mom screams, "Oh Christ! Her twat was all wet! Oh lord, it touched my leg!"

The end.

My comment was very serious.

My wife likes her a great deal, and to some extent I enjoy her stuff. The records are pretty good... one day my wife pulled out Moon Pix and was all over it (she had never heard it before) I didn't realize it was my own copy... I guess I forgot I owned it. So there's a clue to how I feel about her.

While I liked YOU ARE FREE, and thought the new one had a good, sturdy, vibe (if a tad boring in the middle), I was extremely disappointed with her show we saw about 3 weeks or so ago...

We had to leave. I was hoping that it was with the big band (which I heard was great) but this show was actually solo. She was so self conscience and bizarre. She would interrupt the songs constantly antagonizing the sound man to give her more reverb and kill the highs... Which was causing so much feedback when he accommodated her requests.

I find it in poor taste when a performer apologizes to an audience for there own lack luster performance, which she did after every song. When we applauded, she would shake her head and give a hearty two handed thumbs down motion. It was embarrassing and finally about 30 minutes in (and she started an hour later than she was supposed to have started anyway)... we bolted. My wife is generally very sweet and asked me if I thought she would feel bad that people were climbing over the seated audience during the whisper quiet show to leave. I could only respond "Who gives a fuck? We paid $30 to witness insecurity incarnate."

The weird things is, she has a fantastic voice, and beyond the imagined imperfections she was ruining her own performance to rectify, was pretty spot on when not pouting verbally. She really could be a singular voice if she could just cut out the bullshit.

Crap (with a pretty big waffle waiting for her when she gets her shit together).

I have seen some real, real horrific cat power shows.
One lasted exactly one half a song before she freaked and ran out the front door.
I have also seen some no shit holy shit best shit ever tear falling down my cheek beautiful cat power shows.
I think she's on some medication now, which is good for people who have to be around her all the time, I'm sure, but has really made her music into boring old fart shit.

ive only seen cat power once, whilst musically it was pretty good, the whole deal with freaking out and running off stage, mid song (through the crowd, and not straight off back stage) seemed a little contrived (i think thats the word im looking for). not saying it was that way but it gave off the impression of being part of the act

No, she's really nuts. A raving lunatic, no act.

pretty crap!!

incredible voice

"moon pix" is a masterpiece

"what would..." and "you are free" are excellent too.and please notice that grohl and vedder did a great job on the latter.

she's becoming a bit boring, however. i didn't buy "the greatest", didn't like the songs i heard so much.

Why, pray, tell, is she using a flying V? Is there any reason for it? Other than to look consciously incongruous with the song she is playing?

Hey, that's great.

That's the real thing.
