Miki Berenyi on Lush drummer Chris Acland's suicide 

Agreed on both counts! Thanks for watching, and for chiming-in.

You should! Great read (and listen).

I will look for her book, too: I didn't know Chris took his life.

@@rikcosham5927 WELL worth the read/listen, I say.

Let me see what I can do! あなたと日本の視聴者全員のためにこれを翻訳するために何ができるか見てみましょう。ご関心をお寄せいただきありがとうございます。

Thanks for watching. I hear you, but I think what she was saying was as someone who'd known Chris intimately for about a decade at that point, that it was shocking based on the precedent of his previous reactions. She mentions in the interview how, down to a person, everyone was shocked, that it was the last person any of the people in his circle would have guessed -- and not just her. I think when you're that familiar with someone you tend to be less gentle in your assessments. Not to mention the fact that suicide leaves the survivors feeling angry and left behind, like "what reason would you have for taking yourself away from us?" I mean, yeah, a relationship of just a year can totally leave someone feeling so injured that they feel inclined to take their own life, but I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt that what she was saying was "it wasn't like Chris to respond that way."

Berenyi has shown classic narcissism throughout her entire career in the limelight. There’s a reason why she falls out with everyone other than the most passive, submissive of people such as Moose.

@@hermanhawtrey8578 Hmm, when you say "classic narcissism her entire career" what specifics would you point to? (I personally have never gotten that impression. Not that my radar for this is flawless, but it's certainly not completely off-target either, and I think the word "narcissist" gets slapped on people way too easily these days.)

@@feedbackdef she was always wanting all the limelight during performances. Would subtly put down band members, later on not so subtly. And when you consider some of her behaviour after Lush gigs it’s astonishing that she keeps on and on making a huge deal out of the Alex James incident. And she’s always been hypersensitive to any criticism, one of those people who’s very happy to dish it out but gets hugely offended at the slightest critical comment directed her way. Sorry but she’s not for me at all.

@@hermanhawtrey8578 I don't have a very up-close view, but what I'm seeing doesn't line up with what your describing, which sounds a lot like subjective speculation to me. Of course, like anyone else she's far from perfect, but she comes across as highly self-aware, at least from what I can tell.
