Learning from the best: Keith is the only member of the Kidman cult

In the 1970's, when there was a rise in cults, there was a need for deprogrammers. These folks took the cult member out and away from the cult and brought them harshly back into reality. After reading certain interviews, it appears that Keith Urban seems in need of a deprogrammer.

He shows all the signs of someone in serious need of an intervention. Here is what led me to think this:

1. Statements that lead me to believe that he is in a very depressed state.
2. Actions that are irrational and illogical.
3. Questions about what rehab really taught him.

First, I don't believe for a minute that these two have any kind of love relationship. I believe that the wife was so hurt in her first marriage that she is incapable of it. I also can see by his statements that Keith is in no better state than he has been in any of his other relationships. He seems as if he is in a deep depression and isn't coping very well.

He claims this is his first real love. That he hasn't been able to love in the past. What a terrible thing to say those women who supported him and loved him in the past. Part of growing up, Mr. Urban, is not to say someone else is the cause of my happiness or sobriety. It's to say that "this" is my journey. But, of course, when you are coerced into worshiping someone else, any form of acknowledgment gets over-dramatized. When your statements are all about being a better____, then it becomes about that, about being a better servant.

Your problems are your own, and the women that have loved you in the past have gotten you to where you are, and not all of that is bad, is it? These about not being too far from the wife away smacks of dependence. I don't see the wife changing her schedule because she doesn't have to. He appears to be making all the changes, all the sacrifices, and what for? Will he give up his career? Sounds like he just might. And, that is very scary. It is not just a PR thing anymore.

It affects all the people who work and are supported by him. It is just like being in a cult. You cast off the people around you, and what you were doing, so that you can pay better attention to the cult. You also cast off your family. Do you think Keith has? I do. He also self-mutilated himself (he got a tattoo of her name and had her initials added to another tattoo from another woman) to show his devotion. He talks about his guru in every encounter. He looks to be seeking her approval, her acceptance and forget the rest of the world.

Is this dangerous? Yes. Anyone who has gone through rehab knows rule number two, after “one day at a time”, is to NOT to enter a romantic relationship or get intense about another person, as this can become an addiction. And I think the drug of choice for Mr. Urban is his self-centered narcissistic wife, who understood, because she was indoctrinated into one of the most questionable religions around.

So, do we all walk away? No, I like the guy and I don't want to hear about the LATE Keith Urban and I think that might come if there is a break up. So what can we do? We can boo the dedication. We can urge US interviewers to keep it on the music. We can challenge the PR by writing People and all the other tabloids, and complain about the coverage they get. Build the man up for being Keith Urban, not Keith Kidman. When we do this, and I am sure all of you can think of others things to do, we will all become deprogrammers. This isn't just for fun. We might just be saving Keith Urban's life.
