Marianne Faithfull is AMAZING and her concert last night at UCLA's Royce Hall was the best I've seen all year! It was good to hear her new material, but I really enjoyed hearing some of her earlier work, such as "Broken English," "As Tears Go By," "Sister Morphine," "The Ballade of Lucy Jordan," etc. I spotted several Stones "insiders" in the audience and backstage. The great Blondie Chaplin was sitting down front next to Kat Kramer, who's working on a Stones/Jagger set of duets called "Gemstone." (I can't wait for it to come out.) Backstage, later, I saw Marianne chatting with Kat. No idea what they were talking about, but I wouldn't be surprised if it had something to do with Kat's project. One of the people with Kat was an actor whose name I couldn't remember, but I recognized him from "Pirates of the Carribbean." He had some scenes with Keith Richards. I can't wait for Marianne's next show.

SV..I was browsing through the disc of your pics from Town Hall last night and I SAW IT.
I caught a couple of glimpses (as we did at the show) of this young girl:




Thank you GTRM for burning and sending the CD of the Show!!!!!
