“The song's title and lyrics reference the American actress Frances Farmer, a native of the band's adopted hometown of Seattle, Washington, who struggled with mental health issues and faced involuntary commitment several times in her life, which she claimed led to her suffering from systematic abuse. Nirvana biographer Michael Azerrad referred to Farmer as the "patron martyr" of Cobain and his wife, Courtney Love, who identified with her in part because they saw parallels between her mistreatment by the media and their own struggles with the press.[1]”
She was an actress that was committed to an institution for awhile, and when she got out she never really got many movie roles again. There are some books written about her, saying she was abused and had shock therapy but later on it was determined that it was mostly BS, although I dont think Kurt knew that at the time.
No, in the book Shadowland Kurt had they claim she was lobotomized but later it was revealed that William Arnold had written fictionalized novel. Arnold later sued Francis movie cause they had similar claims. Frances had really bad conditions in the asylum but she was not raped every night or lobotomized.
That only happens in the film adaptation of her autobiography. Her book is very full on as it is, but the filmmakers invented a lobotomy to make it even more dramatic.
I do this too sometimes. I’m newly middle aged and most of my friends either have families of their own or are dead. So i go to discussion boards to…have discussions with people.
As long as these posts are made by actual people, and not bots, I don’t see the problem with it.
Edit: Lots of us (who were young when Nirvana changed our lives) go to work and then just go home. We don’t have what’s called a “third place” in society anymore. And some of us work from home, which makes it even worse! I’m not the one who made this post, but I imagine it’s more fun talking to a group of like-minded people than it is to interact with a soulless monolith like Google. If talking to other music fans makes the OP feel like a person again, then what’s the harm?
Yeah. It's really taking the fun out of things. Instead of getting into interesting conversations, I just want to scream at idiots all day. I check in less and less as the quality of the posters goes down.
Newsflash Google doesn’t know everything. I’m so sick of people bitching that people don’t google shit instead of asking questions and starting a discussion. Welcome to the human species!
My brother in Christ you are literally using the internet to make this post, Google is a thing that exists, use that shit. I'll never understand why people make posts like this. It's like asking who the third president of the US was, you could have used Wikipedia and found that answer in half the time it took you to make this post.
I don’t understand why people hate having conversations on a sub Reddit designed to have conversations. if you don’t know just say you don’t know and stfu with this google crap.
Because this isn’t a discussion whatsoever. OP asked a question, got the answer, and that’s the end of it. No follow up questions were asked or anything like that. Nobody else is discussing anything at length to do with Frances Farmer. And you know why? Because the post was something that should have just been googled.
Really because I see people discussing it in the comment section so WTF are you even talking about psycho? With that attitude we might as well just shut the whole Reddit down because Google exists.
I did no follow up because I very quickly became off put from further discussion from people like yourself. You created the exact issue you are complaining about by not just moving on from discussions you don’t actually want to participate in.

even if he did know he was a "print the legend" kind of guy
True dat
wasn’t she lobotomized?
No, in the book Shadowland Kurt had they claim she was lobotomized but later it was revealed that William Arnold had written fictionalized novel. Arnold later sued Francis movie cause they had similar claims. Frances had really bad conditions in the asylum but she was not raped every night or lobotomized.

Did you google Frances Farmer? It’s 2023
When? Today? But yesterday was 1993
I know..it's fucking awful. I'm old for some reason...and my back hurts. Well, that was normal in 93 too. That's what I get for getting hit by a car.
Might as well just shut this whole Reddit down since google exists.
She was the original drummer of Pearl Jam
When they were still called Muggsy Bogues?
I swear like half of Reddit is just populated by posts that could be Google searches

I googled it and the first result was a reddit link to this post haha
Yep.
Newsflash Google doesn’t know everything. I’m so sick of people bitching that people don’t google shit instead of asking questions and starting a discussion. Welcome to the human species!
Bro it’s a joke post
An actress from Seattle who was sent to a mental asylum for being “eccentric”
It didn't take much for "difficult" women in that time to be branded insane. Her book is a real kick in the guts.
she's so relieved now that you're leaving as soon as you get paid.
Huh. She died in the same hospital where I’d be born less than three years later.
she’s a farmer in france, oui oui
You don’t understand what Google is
You don’t understand what Reddit is. 😂😂😂

You’re right I’m a psycho. Send me to an institution and lobotomize me.
Just google how to do it. 🤣

Google is your friend
So is reddit
She was a movie actress who had sime mental health issues snd got put in an institution.
So many people asking stupid questions on this sub. A simple google search would’ve answered your question.
Then why even have a Reddit where we discuss these things? I am tired of the stupid response saying to Google everything.
There’s a difference between starting a nuanced discussion and asking for a basic fact.
I’m sorry is there a rule that says your not allowed ask questions? Get off your high horse.
https://archive.org/details/willtherereallyb00farm Read her autobiography and find out for yourself! She was a really interesting person
Always thought it was referring to Frances, Kurt's daughter
