Yesterday, Serge and Gene said farewell to a venerable old friend, Frances. Eighty-three and sporting personal views as abrasive as the Round-Up she pours down the storm drain, Frances has been privately funding our drinking activities for the past year. Beneath the cantankerous exterior is a woman as sweet as the Christmas pudding she was baking for what may or may not have been Lou Diamond Phillips, and one who has taught us more things than you can shake a fist at—including inventive waxing methods and various uses for a tarpaulin. We think that Kurt Cobain’s gritty “Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle” is the ideal tribute to this genteel relic. Not very ironically, this song was written by Cobain about Frances Farmer, the rebellious and headstrong 1940’s actress who was eventually committed to a mental hospital. The song features on Nirvana's final studio album, the raw and thematic In Utero. Oh happy day!
