Marianne Faithfull dead at 78 1/30/25

Just heard the sad news. Ms. Faithfull is a very important part of Stones' history, and she influenced some of their best songs. She was an important musician in her own right.

I met her twice in Boulder, Colorado and at the 9:30 Club in Wash. DC. She was lovely, beautiful and had a fallen angel quality.

Ms. Faithfully, thank you kindly for the music and inspiring Stones to be their best. I will listen to "Wild Horses" and "As Tears Go By" in your honor. RIP.

This hits hard and January can bite me.

I loved Marianne with all my heart. So talented, so fiery. I hated the misogynistic, stupid way the press treated her, like an extension of Mick, this horrendous portrayal of her as a "muse" or the "girl in rugs", instead of an artist, a person in her own right. She was nothing short of amazing and I feel she never got the recognition she deserved. Went to hell and back, made some amazing music, she was fire. Fire.

I saw her live twice. I was entranced. The second time round I also managed to go to this press conference she had before the gig too. Was too hypnotized to dare ask her anything.

But I did ask her something on an online Q&A she did several years ago. I didn't wanna ask about music, instead I asked how one finds closure. I was going through some shitty situation at the time and could use some words of wisdom. She replied: "You don't. You just have to be ruthless and kind at the same time". It stuck with me. I always go back to it.

I hope she's hanging with Anita and they're sharing a laugh about their wild, amazing lives.

I think that based on her impact on the band, she deserves a new thread. I'm going to link the Obituary thread to this one

Thanks ThomasOliver and Waitering on a Friend for starting the conversation there

Here the first header in her honor
