Yesterday on Facebook from Cherie Currie:
Life is ironic. Kim Fowley was moved into my home a week ago Friday. I have been a 24/7 caregiver for him. Funny, I have not been a fan of this man for decades but time is the great equalizer. It has been an honor to be there for him. He is ill so please send prayers to him. He is as brilliant now as he has ever been. Caring for him keeps me from FB. Know I love you all and please send positive thoughts his way.

99% of everyone wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire. My hat's off to Cherie.

Apologies, didn't see that the article was already being discussed

I ranted about him on fb already, but hey, there's always time to rant more
We've always known he was a creep from the stories going around but now everyone can see without equivocation that he TRULY is a motherfucking piece of shit
Burn, asshole

I'm not reading this story cuz I don't need anymore ugliness at the moment but can anybody really say this is surprising
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 9 July 2015 21:18 (eight years ago) link
it's not surprising
but it's Jackie's story from Jackie herself, something that took 30+ years for her to tell and that's what matters
tbh I'd rather this was on the Runaways thread than having this just be 100% about him

Finally just read that old but pretty damn definitive Ugly Things interview. Wow, what a life!! He's something of an underdog, so my instincts say "Root for him", however as mentioned upthread his "kneejerk misogyny" is appalling. Just when i'm thinking right on, Kim. He comes out with a reference to "fucking dirty bitches". Really gross and tacky. And when asked if he has any regrets says "I should've been meaner". I literally yelled No! to noone in particular, upon reading that. Such a shame. Well, in truth his solo records almost uniformly suck so....

Lucky for him he left when he did. He never would've made it through the #metoo era. And rightfully so.

Would be interested to know what if anything Miriam at Norton thinks about him now.

Indeed, me too. No pun intended. 😳
