Like a few other boys in 6th grade, I had a crush on Marianne Faithful, the very pretty British young woman who hung around with Mick Jagger.
Let's just say that I really thought that Marianne Faithful was cool, or whatever we used to say back then! Groovy? I don't remember so I'll just say that she was "awesome looking" to me!.
Over the years, I lost track of Marianne, in large part because she stopped singing and her relationship with Mick Jagger did not end well. As they say today, Marianne spent a long time dealing with very difficult personal issues and problems. I tuned her out!
I learned that the very cute Marianne of my school days is 65 today. Can someone slow down the clock, please? It is ticking too fast!
I have not seen any recent pictures of Marianne. I'm sure that she looks good. However, I think that I'll save those memories of yesteryear and 6th grade.
This is "As tears go by", a great song written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones. It is still one of my favorite songs today:
"It is the evening of the day, I sit and watch the children play.
Smiling faces I can see But not for me,
I sit and watch as tears go by.
My riches can't buy everything, I want to hear the children sing.
All I hear is the sound Of rain falling on the ground,
I sit and watch as tears go by.
It is the evening of the day, I sit and watch the children play.
Doing things I used to do They think are new,
I sit and watch as tears go by...."

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." - President Ronald Reagan
