This is bigger than iorr.org. This is huge. We have to solve this.

The real question- Is "friend" the correct term, and if so, are they still "friends"?

We know that's not the case -- Anita's been asked, hasn't she? as has Marlon. Marlon's response, iirc, was to the effect it must have been some hanger-on.
Every time I see this thread pop up I think "oooh, maybe the mystery's been solved!"
I can just imagine how staff of Keith, or any of them, would regard a thread like this--evidence of what freaks fans are.
I mean, it totally doesn't "matter" - but it's a missing little piece of a jigsaw puzzle that's on this table that many of us contribute to over the years--and it is helpful to those writing about the Stones and their history.
I know this having seen in one recent book in particular that things more or less causally trotted out and threshed through here in discussion have been appropriated, or leveraged, or drawn upon--however you want to put it. So for the sake of the "greater good"---when people who are not as intimately familiar with or interested in the Stones as we decide to write about the Stones---they have a resource they can't get anywhere else. for those capitalizing on our discussions, I suppose more power to them. I would imagine most may not even realize how their thinking has evolved after reading these (sometimes turgid tedious overly detailed discussions) but it does benefit them. Again, I've seen this in a recent book involving the Stones and several articles...the language, the perspectives...stuff that we hatch here in the course of sharing ideas, insights, opinions, and having open discussion.
So, we might as well strive to get it right. For our own sense of weird "fun" of filling out that puzzle--as well as those who mine iorr for content and perspectives they might not come up with themselves and use that in writing about the Stones.

I believe that 110%, I know you have a good eye (and ears and smarts talent) to recognize that....then I wrote and deleted bunch of too long stuff that sounded all wrong... so I dumped itthat is very interesting.

I think being a fan (maybe too much)(maybe freak) of this band helps keep me young... and least it makes me happy... so it cant be that bad. I still have a "book hangover" from Tony's book... some of the fun parts played out (read out) in my mind exactly like watching a movie. Some parts I could see vividly, and like good movies can do, that stuff bangs around for a while.

Whatever their faults, Tony's book and Barbara Charone's make you feel as if you are truly seeing the environment in which the Stones lived.

Even though Charone was clearly besotted with Keith, she was also Anita's confidante and her book is a window into their world at that time. It makes for depressing reading..
Others that gave me that feeling, but to a lesser extent, were June Shelley's book, and Robert Greenfield's 'A Season in Hell', despite the purple prose. Other people recommend Stanley Booth's for this as well, but I found it too narcissistic.

This is off topic but i gotta say: she broke Brians heart and Keiths too - no doubt about it - and i dont blame them. I agree with the implications in You got the Silver. Anita is one hellavu golddigger the sort who digs your heart out after shes secured the cash and stripped you of your medals. First the Love of her life (understandably) left for what became the secure hubby of her life but only after failing to lure the king in between. Goddamn.

I don't agree with this, yes she broke Brian's heart, but only after he had beaten the shit out of her and treated her like a cheap whore. She was hardly a gold digger and could easily have made her money had she not given up modelling and acting, and I don't ever believe she wanted Jagger in a long term sense. Had it not been for the lawyers, she'd still have been with Keith for all we know.

@Another_Man Magazine just posted some crowd photos to Instagram from an early David Bowie performance with The Hype during Atomic Sunrise (March 1970), and I think I spotted Anita's mystery friend in one of them. What does everybody think--Is this the guy?
