He is apparently taking his abusive, psychotic, addicted life on the road. I just don't get this. He has a lengthy history of spousal abuse (this documents only those incidents until 2009) and yet he has the option to position himself as bizarre celebrity-gone-wild in the face of a total mental breakdown. While his erratic behavior is undoubtedly drug-fueled, that doesn't excuse his actions, now or in the past.

There are so many gender issues and class issues with his "goddesses" that I can't even begin to talk about it. The whole thing just underscores all the race/class/gender privileges that we know exist in our society, but that we don't want to directly address. I just hope that this disaster goes away quickly and everyone involved gets the professional attention and treatment they need.
