Well, she just found out it's Black Francis's band and no one else's! There a reason why you hear no one else talking talking during an interview when they're all together, I know this cuz I've been a fan since day one back in the 80s I seen her personality and I can see him getting rid of her eventually she just wasn't smart enough to keep your mouth quiet like David and Joey! I say good riddance...Kim is the only true and only!

The Pixies are still a band? I thought they quit decades ago.
