Dear followers, it’s with a heavy heart that I announce I will continue Faithfull Forever exclusively on Instagram. As you have noticed updates here have been getting more infrequent.

I’m still a fan of Marianne and love her so very much but due to a combination of real life, practicality and changes on Tumblr that I cannot support I won’t be updating this account anymore. It’ll remain open as an archive and I invite you to browse old posts and also to follow @mariannefaithfullforever on Instagram.

Faithfull Forever started on Tumblr 10 years ago and I’m immensely grateful for all of you who have followed me and through your reblogs, likes and messages have shown that the world does care about Marianne post-1969.

… and yes, still working on that archive website and blog! Maybe I’ll finally get it done this year. For now though make sure to follow @mariannefaithfullforever on Instagram for all the Marianne rarities from around the web and my personal collection!

Love and light to all of you,

Maggie

Vidéo: Marianne Faithfull, fleur d'âme
Au début des années 60 à Londres, la jeune chanteuse Marianne Faithfull devient rapidement célèbre. Elle est la compagne de Mick Jagger et une icône du « Swinging London ». Puis c'est la descente aux enfers : toxicomane elle vit plusieurs années dans la rue. Au début des années 80, c'est la renaissance et à nouveau le succès. Marianne a accepté de raconter tout son parcours à Sandrine Bonnaire.

“Fleur d’ame” will be available to watch on RTS Deux’s website for 29 days! I had no issues watching their channel’s live stream with a VPN/Swiss proxy, but somehow it doesn’t seem to work with this video. Anyone else having issues? (If someone could help me download the video I’d be eternally grateful! Please, please message me!)

I really loved the documentary. There might not have been any huge revelations, but finally Marianne’s story was told in a completely new way. Usually we see Marianne through the lense of the male gaze that’s always looking for the sex and drugs instead of the rock’n’roll. Film maker Sandrine Bonnaire sometimes pushes Marianne out of her comfort zone, but knows when to really stop.

Here we get a honest pastiche of Marianne’s life commented on by herself in recent interviews with Sandrine, but also as herself at various points in time while she was living her own history. You get interviews, (rare) video clips, concert footage, looks behind the scenes of Marianne’s life and work today.

I recommend this is to any fan, old or new, or even people who know nothing about Marianne. Finally her story is told as its meant to be told.

I’ve been extremely busy with a new project a friend asked me help with: a website dedicated to Bobbie Gentry. She was a prolific singer and songwriter in the 60s and 70s and then vanished without leaving a trace.

If you are a fan make sure to sign up for updates at http://www.bobbiegentry.org.uk! If you have any cool memorabilia to share like magazine clippings or rare record covers you can submit them as well.

Today our Instagram went online and we would love you to follow us at @odetobobbiegentry/instagram.com/odetobobbiegentry. Thank you. ♥

For Anita

Had I the heaven’s embroidered cloths Enwrought with gold and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half light, I would spread the cloths under your feet But I being poor, have only my dreams I have spread my dreams under your feet Tread softly for you tread upon my dreams

Anita used to say that we (the two of us) are light years ahead of the Rolling Stones. Witty and probably true!

I will miss Anita so much; 52 years! I really loved her. We had good times & bad times, but I only remember the good times now. She taught me so much, especially after we got clean; it was very good, and so much fun! Farewell my love, go well.
