Episode 5 - Framing Britney Spears (2021)
Hey Friends! This week we're looking at the very recently released (is this the first time we've been vaguely relevant?) Framing Britney Spears Documentary (2021). Our hope is that our approach to the issues surrounding her conservatorship and her difficult relationship with the media is sensitive and well thought out. We do have moments of light relief to preserve our own sanity and lend the tone a bit of balance. Get in touch with us on the gram and the book if you want to continue this important conversation @musicsoundsbetterwithtwo Stay well, stay safe, stay out of trouble. Special thanks to Sareem Griage. J & N xoxo Note from Julie: guys, apologies for the background noise of cars bombing up and down my street. Apparently I live at Silverstone now. ‘20s plenty’ who?

The lady Natalie was referring to who discusses the notion of conservatorship usually being utilised for the elderly was Vivian Lee Thoreen. People have opinions on her. Read them here https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.thefocus.news/celebrity/vivian-thoreen/amp/ and judge for yourself. Britney sang “Love Can Build a Bridge” on the show ‘Star Search’. The host at the time was Ed McMahon. Diane Sawyer was the woman who let Britney know during an interview that someone wanted to shoot her. (The fact alone that I just typed that sentence depresses me beyond belief). “Family Fortunes goes to hell” was in fact a show called Family Feud. Go figure. Heat Magazine has had many editors since it’s inception in 1999. Boyd Hilton was never one of them. Always an entertainment critic, Julie. Hashtags aside, Black Lives Matter and Britney should be freed. That is all.
