from a new york magazine article about chan marshall and the live show where she had a meltdown:
This show changed her reputation, unfairly, from eccentric to full-on crazy. But Chan says there’s a reason for what happened that night. Before the show, when she ran upstairs to get her guitar, “this guy was there who I had known for a long time. He was on drugs and telling me crazy stuff. He had a gun and was trying to tease me that he had power.” Eventually, he let Chan go. But the whole time she was onstage, “I thought he was going to shoot me.” Two months later, she adds, the man shot both of his parents and himself. Only his father survived.
sure. maybe she should write a memoir about it.
Let me just say I love New York Magazine.

another quote from the article:
It’s 10 a.m. on an overcast Wednesday, and Chan is by the pool at the Delano Hotel in Miami, wearing Blueblocker sunglasses from Kmart, sweatpants, and a plaid shirt. But when the sun emerges, she takes off all those things to reveal a blue pin-striped Louis Vuitton bikini.
now that's style. does anyone out there like cat power?
So was the guy with the gun also at the other 114 shows where she had freak-outs?

What ever happened to magazines having fact checkers? That's a read thing, right?
Maybe he follows her to all her shows. Maybe he's a tiny man with a tiny gun who lives in the pocket of her Louis Vuitton jeans.
oops. a real thing. i always do that.
I like Cat Power. I remember really digging "What Would The Community Think," then when "Moon Pix" came out, I thought it was so awesome and I didn't think she could top it. Ever since, I've been comparing every one of her records to "Moon Pix" and I've been dissapointed each time. I have to stop that.
I also love me some New York Magazine! I had to get a subscription because Tower was kind of spotty about carrying it. But now the lag time between when their new issue hits and when I get it in the mail is about 2 weeks. I would like to take the time to give some shout outs to the Look Book, In Season, the Strategist and the Approval Matrix!

I love the Look Book, too, but have you noticed how they aren't really picking rich people lately? I say bring back the rich people! I like to hate on them.
"Maybe he follows her to all her shows. Maybe he's a tiny man with a tiny gun who lives in the pocket of her Louis Vuitton jeans."-
Hey I have one of those guys in my pocket and I'm not even famous, hell I don't even wear Louis Vuitton---
i do know she likes some high fashion. one of matt's friends in the city lived with a girl who sold clothes at an upscale shop in the union square area. i wish i could remember the brand. it wasn't LV but it was another very expensive label. chan and her bf at the time came in and bought a bunch of clothes.
Cat Power is great and "Moon Pix" is excellent, but I find it funny how every profile I've read about her has to go on at great length about her feeble stage-presence, long, awkward moments of silence between songs, inability to conduct engaging stage-banter, blah, blah, blah. It's like her label promotes this as part of her shtick, and so people go to watch her great meltdown. Sort of like how everybody went on and on about how "You never know when BJM's Anton might kick in some fan's head during your city's show!" noise when DIG! came out (OK, those observations might be somewhat more relevant to what's going on in that "band"). And so everybody went ready to be a part of the big brawl! Fortunately, I think both artists' akward social skills are outweighed by their musical talents. I saw both Cat Power and BJM in the last couple years here in town, and neither of those things happened. (Actually, I was thinking of offering to buy Anton a beer [albeit he ending up ordering a triple Greyhound] after he walked up and stood next to me at Old I's bar waiting to order a drink before his set, but then the thought suddenly popped in my head that Just what if he takes offense to that and wants to kick MY head in?! "What, you don't think I can pay for my own drinks, m-----------?! Crack!" See, I guess I've read too many of those damned stories about him!)

A triple greyhound??!! That's disgusting. Why not just get straight vodka?
