Time flies quickly: Marianne Faithful is 65 today!

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...."
