BIF NAKED - "I've Never Worried About Mortality Because I Never Thought I'd Live Past 30"
May 9, 2009, 15 years ago
ChartAttack.com recently spoke with BIF NAKED about recording her new album, The Promise, while she was battleing breast cancer. An excerpt is available below.
Q: When things were hard, what inspired you?
Bif: "I have a chemo book that I kept with all my medical notes that I started writing. I wanted to log, point by point, the physiological responses I had as patient XYZ to chemotherapy. And in that log, I had only one photo. It was a photo of me performing at a festival, taken from the back with the whole crowd in it. That was all that kept me motivated when I wasn't feeling well."
Q: It surprises me that your album doesn't have any songs about facing death. Did you not allow yourself to even think about that?
Bif: "I've never worried about mortality because I never thought I'd live past 30. I'm one of those girls who experienced so much misadventure so young that I marvel every year that I'm still here. I've just got to make jokes about it. It's never been something that scares me."
