RIP.
What Jerry said.
She’s gone at 78 and Mick is still dating 20 year olds.

I fell in love with Marianne Faithful back in 1964 when I saw her singing “As Tears Go By” on TV. In 1967, I dated a girl who looked like Marianne Faithful. However, when I went to Marquette University in Milwaukee, she was not faithful and dropped me for a guy in her Senior Class.

Well, you’re still ahead of me. I never dated a girl who looked anything like Marianne Faithfull.
