		Deborah's first thoughts on seeing Sid: "My daughter was dating Frankenstein." Deborah's treatment of Nancy's death is particularly troubling as she describes the insensitivity of public officials, the press, and the public.
		Sid called Deborah once and sent her two notes, always expressing his devastation at Nancy's death as well as his need for Deborah's understanding and support--something she is, understandably, reluctant to give.

	Review — “And I Don’t Want to Live This Life” - Classic Rock
		Spungen, dubbed “Nauseating Nancy” by the press, was found in a pool of blood partially under the bathroom sink in their room at the Chelsea Hotel in New York, dressed only in fl lace lingerie and stabbed in the lower abdomen.
		Spungen was vilified by the tabloids, denounced as just another white-trash dope addict, living fast and dying young.
		Deborah makes no effort to put the best face on her family or its problems, and by doing so, turns them from one-dimensional tabloid fodder into our neighbors and friends.

		Deborah Spungen's book is a tear-jerking memoir of life with a daughter deeply disturbed from an early age who was denied both the psychiatric and neurological help she so desperately needed.
		Deborah Spungen, a strong supporter of FMV (Families of Murder Victims), gives us an intimate window into the life of her family and her infamous daughter.
		The stress and loneliness that Spungen must have suffered as the primary caregiver of a difficult child is no doubt harrowing; however to put all responsibility for such a disloyal act against her husband on Nancy's shoulders only exacerbates the mistreatment she suffered as a result of behavior that she was unable to control.

		Mummy Spungen never seems to have questioned the idea that Sid Vicious, (a gruesome Punk Rock boy!) murdered her daughter even though this allegation was seriously flawed and almost entirely gleaned by the media!
		Spungen realized the cold hard fact that her daughter was not going to be the virginal "Jewish American Princess" she dreamed of having.
		Deborah does a wonderful job of putting those "Nauseating Nancy" myths to rest and showing Nancy for what she was....a emotionally disturbed young girl desperate for acceptance and escape from her pain.

	Sex Pistols Sid Vicious, and the Death of Nancy Spungen - The Crime library
		John Simon Ritchie was the man's real name, but he was better known as Sid Vicious, punk superstar and former bass player for the infamous British band, the Sex Pistols.
		Later that afternoon he was charged with second-degree homicide in the death of Nancy Spungen.
		The news of Spungen's death and the murder charge against Vicious reverberated through the ranks of young people who defiantly called themselves "punks." Vicious' many fans saw him as nothing less than the embodiment of the punk philosophy—aggressively nihilistic and intentionally rude and offensive in all situations.

		While stories like these are in no short supply, neither are fans like the barista, who continue to idolize Vicious -- a junkie, accused murderer of his girlfriend, and by all accounts unable to play his instrument -- nearly twenty-three years after he died of an overdose.
		A heroin addict with a history of severe emotional problems, Spungen's main ambition at the time was to become the girlfriend of a rock star.
		As in his relationship with Spungen, however, Vicious seemed drawn to Childers more out of a need to be protected than anything blatantly sexual, sleeping in his arms "like a little baby", but never consummating the relationship.

		Well, obviously Nancy's mother, Deborah Spungen still cares, because she has written a book about her daughter.
		Mrs Spungen seems to feel that Nancy's death was somehow inevitable, more the result of her daughter pushing the 'self-destruct' button than the fault of Vicious.
		Yet, throughout, a sense of love and tolerance for the errant Nancy shine through, coupled with despair at the system that so obviously failed this family from day one.
