Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore from Sonic Youth. In a recent Elle Magazine interview Kim talks about why she and Thurston broke after decades together (MLC is the reason).

«When the subject of dating comes up, I’m not surprised to hear that younger men are vying for her attention, though the couple is not yet divorced.

"We have all these books, records, and art and are getting it all assessed; that’s what is taking so long," she says after ordering a glass of rosé. But both have moved on. Among her suitors are a restaurateur, an architect, and an actor. "It’s just weird," Gordon says of navigating new romance. "I can’t tell what’s normal." And Moore has regularly been seen with the same woman, fueling the rumor that his affair helped doom their marriage. "We seemed to have a normal relationship inside of a crazy world," Gordon says of her marriage. "And in fact, it ended in a kind of normal way—midlife crisis, starstruck woman."

Some years ago, a woman Gordon declines to name became a part of the Sonic Youth world, first as the girlfriend of an erstwhile band member and later as a partner on a literary project with Moore. Eventually, Gordon discovered a text message and confronted him about having an affair. They went to counseling, but he kept seeing the other woman. "We never got to the point where we could just get rid of her so I could decide what I wanted to do," Gordon says. "Thurston was carrying on this whole double life with her. He was really like a lost soul." Moore moved out. Gordon stayed home and listened to a lot of hip-hop. "Rap music is really good when you’re traumatized," she says.»

Always thought MLC was involved somehow there! I loved Sonic Youth .... MLC has such a lot to answer for!

Anyone know how Johnny Depp is getting on?

Here is the puke-worthy latest on Johnny: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2316682/Amber-Heard-reflects-Johnny-Depp-romance-steps-solo-thigh-split-dress--buys-antique-looking-glass.html   

I'm going to include one story about this here because it kind of has a mid-life funk on it: http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2013/04/clint-eastwood-dina-marriage-over-spent-anniversary-apart/ 

I post this because I remember watching Clint's wife's show a few times, and even at the time it seemed like she was a high energy replayer!  She was managing a boy band out of the blue as though she was a heavy hitter in the music biz, but she actually was a news anchor I guess at one point.    Will be interesting to see where this one goes.  At least Clint can still talk to his Obama chair.

Left on a whim.. could be a mlc. Wow, has time ravaged the run away spouse in this instance.

[Wed2Him?Whatever.]

I just read on Yahoo that Michelle Obama said her 'getting bangs was her mid life crisis'. What a joke.If only it was so simple.No one ever takes it serious unless they are living in the midst of it.Certainly not a joke.

Now Obama has a MLC

In divorce court, I didn't notice that my H's hair was different.  I guess it's not MLC?

I must admit the Brenda Heist case sure sounds like MLC.
She walked away from her family and kids at age 43, now she is 54 and turning herself in.

[Ready2Transform]

Was just reading more details on Brenda Heist on CNN - this could be very good for getting breakdowns like this in the mainstream.  She's clearly an extreme case of Escape and Avoid, and though most people are saying from her looks that drugs MUST be involved, I'm not so sure.  Stress, fear, and poor nutrition can do more damage than people think, in a short amount of time.  Look at our MLCers!  http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/01/us/pennsylvania-woman-reappears/index.html?hpt=hp_t1

[Returned]

If it is MLC it sure took a long time to run it's course....phew...11 years....quite a record

[Ready2Transform]

Looks like this story took another turn, too: http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/04/us/pennsylvania-woman-reappears/index.html?hpt=hp_c2

Apparently she's not been so down-and-out as she's claimed.

Sounds more like a major personality disorder than an MLC phase, but she also had awareness along with it - so maybe she's just a jerk.

[trusting]

Yeah, I agree that it doesn't really sound MLCish, but there is definitely something wrong there.  I don't blame her family one bit for not wanting to see her.
