Apart from Brian's friendship with Helen Spittall, Keith's 'blind angel' Rita Bédard, Freddie Sessler, and possibly Bill German.....

I can't remember her name...the young girl in the sixties that headed the fan club and maybe worked in the Stones' office.

Keith befriended a blind girl and gave her access to Stones concerts - she later saved him from going down in 1977/8 by telling the judge what Keith had done.

She was, as Keith called her, his 'Blind Angel.'


Cheers

After Stones activities she worked for the Faces ... and years ago I bought some rare Faces backstage passes from her, but I don't know what she's doing now.

btw. she was celebrated in the song "Shirley" on Ronnie's debut album "I've Got My Own album to do" !!!

Good question. Johnny was Marlon's friend for awhile before hooking up with Keith. But Johnny was a rock musician since he was a teen, and it wouldn't surprise me that he had befriended Marlon to get close to Keith.

That's right, Depp was a musician first. Since he lived in LA he ended up getting acting gigs he took to fund his band. I mean really, who could blame him? It's a tough industry, gotta do and befriend who ya can.

When I was working as a waitress in Bakersfield, California, Mick Jagger left me a $2.00 tip for a $3.00 sandwich.

Always hoped he would write a song about me.

I'm reminded me of an interview I read with Denny Laine's ex-wife, Jo Jo. Denny Laine was a member of Paul McCartney's group Wings, and Jo Jo was a Wings fan. She met Denny as a Wings fan and ended up marrying him. She said Paul and Linda had a disdain for her. The interviewer asked her, Why the disdain? Jo Jo answered, "Because I came into their circle as a fan."

And from all accounts she was very difficult and a muck raker. She was often trying to get Denny to assert himself, and from what I have read was quite a drinker as well, and could get quite loud and obnoxious. They were only married a short time. Nice to hear that Lane is currently working on a book project with McCartney. He had some tough knocks and sounds like he is of the same financial planning philosophy as Ronnie, he had to file for bankruptcy in the mid 80's. He is a regular feature at Beatle conventions as well.

Sit up, fed up, low down, go 'round
Down at the bar at the place I'm at
Sitting, drinking, superfic'ly thinking
About the rinsed out blonde on my left
Then I said "Hi" like a spider to a fly
Remembering what my little girl said

She was common, flirty, she looked about thirty
I would have run away but I was on my own
She told me later, she's a machine operator
She said she liked the way I held the microphone

That's interesting. I'd read Denny Laine wrote a tell-all series in some British newspaper years ago (that I've never read...despite trying to track it down) that burned his bridges with McCartney for good. But time healed the wounds, I guess. Jo Jo did come across as a bit of a brat in that interview.

of course, Mick is friendly with lots of folks in the production side of things. Everybody is a Stones fan, he would be living a lonely life if he only chose people who weren't fans.

Don Was is a good example.
I've personally seen Mick at parties and rock shows 4 or 5 times but never had the courage (or reason) to approach him. His girlfriends probably all started out as fans. His hired musicians for his`solo work are`still considered friends and started off as fans, people like
Joe Satriani.

As far` as real deep brother like friends i doubt he has any besides his real brother and Charlie Watts. Everybody of course wants to be his friend, a lonely life in a way, kinda like the coke dealers of old, never sure what the ulterior motives are.. peace

I caught the boys leaving a venue after playing and Mick gave me a handshake.
