Bif Naked talks sex, love & being baptized into punk rock
Canadian singer-songwriter and punk rock icon Bif Naked has been the voice of an entire generation, telling their stories in her songs. Now, she shares her own story, in a memoir titled I, Bificus.
But as Bif told Candy, she wasn't sold on the idea of writing a book about herself right away.
"I didn't think I had anything of value to share that was that different from anyone else's story," she said. "I'm a prairie girl!"
I, Bificus tells the story of becoming a punk rocker, dealing with sexual violence, surviving breast cancer and falling in love.
"I don't think I turned into an adult until I turned forty, and I certainly didn't turn into a woman until I had breast cancer," Bif explained.
The memoir also shows off the singer's love for animals, especially her dogs. "I mortgaged my house to pay for the vet bills, and I would do it again in a heartbeat," she told Candy.
Despite having been heartbroken multiple times, Bif still considers herself a romantic. She shares the story of meeting her fiance and talks about the theme of their upcoming wedding.
And Bif Naked's wedding song? Faithful by Journey.
