The wonderful singer/songwriter Marianne Faithfull passed away on January 30th. I have a great many "favorite" songs, but this great tune from Marianne Faithful ranks right up near the top of the list ...
A lot of tears are going by nowadays, for a lot of reasons. This one is as sad as any. Goodbye, Marianne.
Have a good day and enjoy the rest of your weekend. More thoughts coming.

Although I didn't know anything about the artist (I was just a bit too young in that decade), I do remember the song. Your link was helpful. I keep thinking she was too young (and so were Jagger and Richards, as writers) to really feel the lyrics, but the article says she re-recorded it when she was much older, by which time she certainly would have had a different perspective.
She made it to 78 by one day. I'm 29 days older than she was. I'm going to keep on going!
