RIP Marianne Faithful, age 78

[Obliviax]

Faithful was a legendary and colorful child of the 60's who had a hand in the Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd success (among many others). She was a writer, singer and actress who excelled in all three. Unfortunately, she was a long time drug addict who made a ton of very poor life choices. She is famous for being arrested during a drug raid where she was naked wrapped in a fur rug as she was hauled off to jail.This raid was at Keith Richards' home in England. For example, she had contributions to As Tears Go By (she was 16 when she wrote it), Come Stay with Me, Sympathy for the Devil, Yellow Submarine and Sister Morphine.

A song written by Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Rolling Stones' manager Andrew Loog Oldham. Marianne Faithfull recorded and released it as a single. I grew up with the music of that time. She was 78 I'm going to be 77.
