Always loved Anita. The ultimate rock chick. Deeply saddened by her passing. Her era with the Stones produced all the magic music and I can't help think she was a part of it all. At one point they were all trying to impress Anita. Although it is good and classy that she never wrote a book, I get the feeling that she had the best of the Stones stories....now we only have the legend.

peace

Anita has always been fairly honest in interviews, eg, saying she didn't feel anything after Scott Cantrell's death. I think the reason she didn't write an autobiography was that she and Keith agreed that a truthful book detailing certain events in their mutual history would be humiliating and destructive to his career and their family. Many of these events have been described in the press and several books, particularly Tony Sanchez's. In exchange for this suppression, Keith has always supported Anita financially.

Well, we don't know whether that is true or not

Anita did not write a book, which would have inevitably put Keith in a very bad light, though she had many offers and we know she did not work and that she had financial support from Keith til the end of her life.

Could be unrelated, yes.

Yes, he could have a heart

For heaven's sake, I'm not saying she blackmailed him! I imagine they came to a friendly arrangement, beneficial to all, with no collateral damage to career and family.

I suspect she never agreed to a book because she would see the events of her life as completely natural and honest, but a publisher/ghost writer would see them as scandalous and salacious.
I'm sure Keith supported her because he cared for her and it was the right thing to do.

Just pulling your leg, Bliss. No stress

I met her in the 70's.
Bye Anita . .

forgive me if this is an ignorant, or somehow disrespectful question, but which Stones tunes do you think are the best ode to / reflection of Anita?

That was someone dialing the wrong number to the studio, according to Keith, wasn't it?

You don't amass a net worth of several hundred millions of dollars without being savvy about business, image, and other such matters (even while addled on drugs).

It's hardly unreasonable to come to the conclusion you did about a mutually-beneficial financial arrangement.

Call me old-fashioned, but to insinuate that Anita won't spill the beans in exchange for money – without other sources than «I imagine» – is a bit of a stretch ethically, no matter how plausible it sounds.

It discriminates her as a person.

You got the silver gets my vote - it really captures the Anita myth - it's a real love song

Ultimate Anita songs is You Got the Silver.
Always thought All About You was about Mick.

Funny. I was playing that song over and over on a new acoustic this week. Yes, open E, capo on first, heart on sleeve.

She was very outspoken and I don't think she wouldve written a tell-all but of course Keiths money secured her silence when it comes to detailed stories of Anita, Brian, Keith, Mick and others. If theres one class act Id say it is Mick Taylor who zipped up without being payed.

Of all the Stones deaths lately Anita is the one that actually saddens me. She was one beautiful gal with an unearthly charisma. Truly one of a kind.

I understand why Brian and Keith fell in love with her. Who wouldnt.

Well..think about it. Anita could hardly go back to acting and modeling after she and Keith broke up. What else did she have to sell besides her memories? Keith had already paid her to stop acting in the 60s. Money wasn't a problem for Keith and she needed a means of support. I'm sure they were both motivated to protect their children from the exposure of further revelations that were better left buried.

Boy, is that ever the truth. And he was in a shocking state, very unhealthy and in desperate need of dental work.

I think it reflects on Keith's moral fiber and character to provide for the mother of his children and children .Simple as that . I do know people that are no longer a couple but the bond and fraternity and connection they share is stronger than some couples marriages .

At the risk of being a little, uhh, harsh ... I think you could have gotten some pretty attractive long odds by betting on Anita's, uhh, ethical foundations. She's revealed herself to be a chick who is capable of taking care of herself, no? Sleeping with one member of the band, throwing him over for another member, and then very possibly banging a third while filming a movie? (What did she have against Charlie and Bill, for goodness' sake?) She may be an exemplar of Dylan's "to live outside the law you must be honest," and a free spirit of her age par excellence, but I don't think that assigning her a strict moral compass is the most accurate way to assess her motivations.

"All About You" is about Mick according to Keith aint it?
