"In this post I’m going to highlight some unsavory history about the founding of The Rolling Stones. As many people already suspect, this band was almost certainly a creation of the Anglo-American ‘intelligence community’. I believe that The Rolling Stones were created in response to the failure of earlier ‘non-communist left’ undertakings such as the Congress for Cultural Freedom, which by 1962 had been ‘outed’. Our story begins in the Cotswold hills…"

Whatever " FAME" Anita has achieved, it is strictly by ASSOCIATION....with the Stones. I have always felt that the band would have been WAY better off had they never met her. Song influences!? Maybe...so what, there would have been other songs and other influences..and some not as lethal as Anita's influence. I will never understand the fascination with this SLEAZY, addicted, evil person. I say evil as in messing with multiple band members and knowingly causing some pretty catastophic events. And I'm certain she is responsible for things none of us will EVER know! Do you get the feeling I am NOT an Anita fan??

Like I said, famous by ASSOCIATION. Her " modeling career" was slight. Her acting abilities nill, or next to nill. Potential? Well, you could say that about most people. And sure, the Stones had control over their destinies however, during that drugged-out period, it probably was easier to manipulate all of them....they were easy prey, and I am sure she knew it. She tagged along for way too long.IMO. I shall never think differently about her...she's a 1/2 step above a prostitute in my book. Not sorry for my opinion, and I wonder how the other Stones women viewed her...I'd LOVE to ask Jerry's opinion, or Bianca's.

You know I like you MicksChix but I hate to see women beat up on other women
especially if they don't know them.
The Stones were "big boys" and she didn't have a gun in their ribs.
The behavior of certain Stones regarding women and drugs could be quite
disgusting.
Frankly, I am amazed and grateful that both Keith and Anita are alive today.
I always thought little Marlon, still a baby was the class act of the family.

I don't see this as a chick on chick attack, I see it as my opinion of her which is not the same one that you have, Stonesrule...and I happen to like you too! And Natualust, I don't view it as a cheap shot just because she had a drug problem because that has nothing to do with my dislike for her. All of the Stones had drug problems and I love them! I don't like her because I viewed her as trashy, not a class act at all. It could be argued that our Boys were not always classy when under the influence and I never condoned Brians treatment of her. I thought he was a horrible bully ! Still I never liked her. She was far from modest and I lumped her into the groupie category....which really is not far from the truth.
And I like you too, even though you said I took a " cheap shot" at Anita. I never saw her as a tragic figure, rather a mere hanger-on, and I too think Marlon turned out just fine, amazingly enough.

She contributed to Keith's family with Marlon and that is a good thing. I think Kieth would agree to that.

Keith and Anita also have a daughter, Angela.

Naturalust, I AM aware that she had a " cultured background" but for me, that doesn't entitle her automatically to be classified as " classy"...I know MANY well-read and intellectual folks who are far from classy. This is the category I've put her in( NOT Classy)...and THERE she shall stay...and 35LOVE, thanks for chiming in. We can only base our impressions of her on what we read and have heard in MANY interviews since the '60's .... and STONESRULE, tell us more about your first-hand impressions of her. We don't KNOW her so, as I said, our impressions are second hand, media-based.

Plenty of people started out classy but went downhill with the rock'n'roll lifestyle. Alice Ormsby-Gore (Eric Clapton's gf) would be a prime example. Robert Fraser, Gram Parsons, and especially Brian Jones.
