It’s a great coping technique that kids have and carry with them throughout their adult lives. Is that a way to diffuse situations or connect with people or mask your true feelings?īN Absolutely. You used humour after your cancer diagnosis. As a kid, you earned respect by becoming the class crown. “We had to pick ourselves up and keep going.” I was still trying to find that validation and I wound up in a lot of potentially fucked up situations. As a result, part of my coping technique was over sexualizing everything a little bit. It was just what we had to do as adolescent girls we had to pick ourselves up and keep going. As an adolescent, I don’t know if it was a response to some of the various sexual traumas I had when I was younger-which I didn’t identify as traumas until I was an adult because we didn’t have that language. I couldn’t relate to my parents, who were extremely strict, although I had a very positive relationship with both of my parents. KB Early in the memoir, still in the teen chapters, I’m thinking, “This girl has nine lives.” In hindsight, do you think you were just a rebel or was it the foolishness of youthīN I was validation-seeking. Bif spoke with ClearLife about her new perspective and what she might do next. Her marriage, however, didn’t survive, but on July 30 she will walk down the aisle in her home base of Vancouver with Snake, “the man of my dreams,” she says with certainty. The woman who has dusted herself off time and time again embraced it head-on with her secret weapon, humour-and lived to tell. In 2008, a year after marrying her second husband, a wedding that was televised through Bodog, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Over two decades, she has released six studio albums, three EPs, a spoken word album and a compilation, leading to touring opportunities all over the world with dips into acting and hosting (she’s currently working on a new album called Heavy).
In 1995, she launched her self-titled debut solo album and her career took off. She discovered boys first-the source of many of her troubles and misadventures-which led to singing in eclectic troupe Jungle Milk and punk bands, Gorilla Gorilla and Chrome Dog. I, Bificus is released on HarperCollins and details her life thus far: born Beth Torbert in India, she was adopted by American missionaries and raised for the most part in Winnipeg, Manitoba, running into all kinds of trouble in her youth that could’ve got her killed. Rock singer Bif Naked is only turning 45 in June, but she has logged enough wild and inspiring stories to warrant a memoir.
