Controversial often means: People feel so threatened by their own hypocrisy that they refuse to try to understand the source of the criticism.
I don't know if its true, but it's sad:
"Her mother...had (Frances) committed to a sanitarium. She spent the next five years in mental hospitals and was forced to take insulin shock treatment. She was reportedly also gang raped and given a partial lobotomy." (From John Rocco's book: "The Nirvana Companion: Two Decades of Commentary, p. 153).

It is actually Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, or at least an excerpt from it.
He wrote it for Paul Whiteman's band. Woody Allen uses excerpts from it for the movie Manhattan. Oh, I thought you were talking about the melody at the beginning of the video. Woops.

Thanks for all your comments Claudia. The music you wanted is 'Lover's Rhapsody' played by the 101 Strings Orchestra. There will be another tribute to Frances Farmer later in the year with all new images. BAZ
