ai generated text

Marianne Faithfull, a British singer-songwriter and actress, has passed away at the age of 78. Born to a wealthy family, Faithfull became a celebrity before her 17th birthday due to her relationship with The Rolling Stones' manager, Andrew Loog Oldham, and her engagement. However, her life took a downward turn in the late 1960s, as she struggled with heroin addiction and homelessness.

    1. Faithfull couldn't sing — still can't — but she reminded me of Grace Kelly.

    1. A song about a woman looking back nostalgically on her life. The uncanny thing is that Mick should have written those words so long before everything happened. It's almost as is if our whole relationship was prefigured in that song.
    2. I'm glad you can hear the experience in my voice. It's an old thing that women are meant to sound pretty and feminine. That's bullshit.
    3. I didn't give a damn about Mick or the Stones.
    4. All these people — gallery owners, photographers, pop stars, aristocrats and assorted talented layabouts more or less invented the scene in London, so I guess I was present at the creation.
    5. One of the hazards of reforming your evil ways is that some people won't let go of their mind's eye of you as a wild thing.
