Russell Davies interview A-list legends of music, art, comedy and film. This week, Russell is in conversation with singer-songwriter Marianne Faithfull.

Faithfull began her music career in 1964 performing folk music at local coffee houses. Her career soon escalated after releasing "As Tears Go By", taking on acting roles, as well as working with The Rolling Stones, but her personal life became fraught with addiction. It wasn't until 1979 that she released her most critically acclaimed album to date, "Broken English". She has since gone on to release numerous albums over the course of her fifty-year career.

She speaks to Russell about her art, alongside a soundtrack inspired by her career.

We need a Marianne thread so all this tiresome media stuff about her can be bundled into one miserable thread. Every week now there's more of the same claptrap about this woman. She gets attention for dating someone famous 50 years ago. I wish she'd retire gracefully.

...Point taken, Oz, and (at least partly): likewise, here...

But don't forget to mention the kind effort Martijnstone is making to share some Stonesrelated info he stumbled on with all of us, right.
Because you sound really irate, it's important to point out the real source of irritation -
after all, times are 'delicate' these days.

She's doing publicity for a year-long world tour and new CD that's out in September.

Congratulations for becoming a poster on IORR last year OZHEAVYTHROBBER

While Marianne Faithfull news may annoy you (And I am not especially interested either)you might want to consider less complaining since BV has done a hell of a job providing this website from a long time.

You can always start your own website if it gets too much for you here.

Thanks for the heads-up!!
Cheers

Kyle M. is a longtime poster who certainly knows his way around IORR even if the OzHeavyThrobber name isn't a familiar identity.

Yes you're right RoughJustice I do sound/come across irritated and to MartijnStone I apologise as that wasn't my intention. I certainly wasn't having a crack at you and again please accept my apology if it looked that way

Marianne is a pain in the butt and a media whore that won't move off into the night is all. She irritates me....haha

And Stonesrule I've been posting here tiger since 2000 as fellow longtime poster Rocky pointed out so you may need to do as I on occasion and be a little more circumspect in what you type. Your talk of BV doing a great job, starting my own website etc I'm sure you'd agree if you stepped back and had a look is you running with the ball a little too far. It has nothing to do with anything.

Okay Oz Okay...So Marianne is now trying to remember the lyrics to "As Tears Go By"..I will take it all back because I have enjoyed your recent Dylan posts.

if only the someone she dated 50 years ago would have made records as good as hers in the past 10 years..

I was skimming through some 2005 posts the other day, and very much enjoyed some of the Monkey Man-posts back then

I don't agree at all : I find her very useful. Marianne knows who killed Jim Morrison, she knows who shot Kennedy and she knows where Jimmy Hoffa is buried.
A very useful person indeed...
