Britney Spears Invited To Speak Before Congress
Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz has extended an invitation to singer Britney Spears to testify in Congress about her conservatorship battle and to tell the tale of how her "life, liberty, and happiness" was taken from her.
It may be extremely surprising to some, myself most of all, but I have actually been keeping a close eye on this. I guess you could say this is my one, weird, out of left field issue that for some reason I genuinely care about.

Penning a letter co-signed by other GOP lawmakers, including Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Utah Rep. Burgess Owens, and Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs, Gaetz invited Spears to tell her story in Congress.

I am certain they have ulterior motives and plan to turn it into some sort of circus, but what is happening to Spears is genuinely fucked up and needs to be corrected. Clearly the lower level legal system isn't going to do anything, so I am in favor of her REALLY amplifying her message and the issue. Not just for her, but conservatorships in general need to be looked at.
The fact that a person can essentially be legally stripped of all their freedoms and have almost no recourse is extremely concerning.
I heard this Saturday morning that her current conservatorship, Bessemer Trust, asked to resign and has been approved by the court. It is all very interesting indeed. What struck me is how blatant all of this appears and sounds outside of stage-lights.
And here I thought Britney was a little too old for Gaetz.
Lol, I almost made the joke myself, but I am serious about this issue.
Grew up in the music business myself (played my own 8th grade graduation dance).
Over time saw a lot of fellow musicians crash and burn. Did it myself a few times.
Finally wised-up and got off of the drug, alcohol, sex and fast car suicide trip.
Still enjoy being on stage with a hot band on occasion, but will never tour again.
It's possible that Britney was lucky having folk trying to save her from herself.
True. It does sound that Britney feels ready to take her fate in her own hands again, even if it means 'failure.'
Was never a fan. Can't even recall one of her songs.
Can remember every song from Janice, Grace and Lydia.
I am not a fan (little beyond my 'time' of listening to POP music on a daily basis. I have heard her songs and raspy voice and the 'girl' does appear to have that "IT" factor. Besides her hurt comes through now. I don't know what is going on with her, but I wish her all the best!
I had read that the reason (or a reason) for the judge's decision was because she had consented to the conservatorship. I wonder how old she was at the time, and whether or not she had any decent advice. One would think that for a normal person there should be limitations on such a situation, such as an age for its termination.
