RE: Music Videos
I'm pretty swamped lately and probably will remain so for a while so not much time for posting. But this place is looking good. I'll have a lot of catching up to do. I've watched some of those Marianne Faithfull videos now and then ... the lack of any action or expression is amazing. A sort of 60s affectation.
Per wiki:
Quote:...On 10 November 1965 she gave birth to their son, Nicholas.[2] She then "left her husband to live with Mick Jagger" and told the "New Musical Express": "My first move was to get a Rolling Stone as a boyfriend. I slept with three and decided the lead singer was the best bet."[2]...
Faithfull's involvement in Jagger's life would be reflected in some of the Rolling Stones' best known songs. "Sympathy for the Devil", featured on the album Beggars Banquet (1968), was in part inspired by The Master and Margarita, by Mikhail Bulgakov, a book which Faithfull introduced him to. The song "You Can't Always Get What You Want" on the Let It Bleed album (1969) was supposedly written about Faithfull; the songs "Wild Horses" and "I Got the Blues" on the 1971 album Sticky Fingers were also allegedly influenced by Faithfull, and she co-wrote "Sister Morphine". (The writing credit for the song was the subject of a protracted legal battle; the resolution of the case has Faithfull listed as co-author of the song.) In her autobiography, Faithfull said Jagger and Richards released it in their own names so that her agent did not collect all the royalties and proceeds from the song, especially as she was homeless and battling with heroin addiction at the time. Faithfull appeared in The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus concert, giving a solo performance of "Something Better".[7] According to Graham Nash his song Carrie Anne by the Hollies is about that time in her life as well. The Beatles's 1966 song And Your Bird Can Sing on the Revolver album is written about her.[9]

RE: Music Videos
Good to hear from you John, thanks for stopping in to let us know you've been busy; I hope that's a good thing for you because because it goes without saying how much you're missed here. And thank you for the info about Marianne Faithfull. I had no idea all those songs were writting about her- Crazy man! She sure had one hell of an affect on those men, OMG.
