chickelit said...

I'm actually an admirer. She's had a pretty rough life. I hope she's not done yet.

Unknown said...

Is that Kathleen Turner?

She's not American.

ricpic said...

Mae West's granddaughter?

April Apple said...
Is that Kathleen Turner?

Similar voice...

chickelit said...

She started out as a groupie and remains faithful to the band which I think is the admirable part.

ricpic said...

Angela Merkel's bad seed sister?

Rabel said...

Mick was rough on a woman.

ricpic said...

She shoulda never left the Hamburg red light district. So cozy, so gemutlich it was.

Rabel said...

chickelit said...

Rabel Rabel, your face is a mess!

chickelit said...

April called it first though rabel sort said it in broken English.

chickelit said...

Lydia said...
The real Renee Zellweger?

lol. I just got that.

Unknown said...

Never would have figured it out without your clues, Chickl. I was focusing on it being an American.

Rabel said...

I cheated.

Chip Ahoy said...

Tell us more about how Americans are #1 obesity in the world. It's axiomatic in Britain. But then they're suckers for government reports and numbers. Odd too, as they universally despise their government but nevertheless trust it with their lives.

Who is this guy Rorschach and why did he paint all those pictures of what my parents looked like when they were fighting?

Known Unknown said...

Who's That Girl?


Christy said...

I'm confused. Petula Clark had a hit with "England Swings" (Like a Pendulum Do,) but Marianne Faithful did Jagger and "Broken English."

Broken English is one of my favorite albums. It certainly fit a Jagger groupie better than the sweet songs she sang earlier. Great album to play when one wants to indulge in a man-hating binge.

chickelit said...

Who's That Girl?

Yes. But it was intentional. Take it up with Trooper York.

chickelit said...

Christy, I'm actually only familiar with the Roger Miller version of "England Swings." I meant the hint only as a reference to swinging London in the mid-1960's and not as a misdirection to Petula Clark.

William said...

On her mother's side, Marianne Faithful is a Hapsburg with a claim to some European title. It's hard to be a working class hero when you're a Hapsburg, but she pulled it off. A lot of the grittiness in her life was self inflicted. Some people are born into hardship and others achieve it......Female singers have a second act after they get fat and lose their looks. Her voice is bitter and harsh. Drug addiction doesn't sound like anything but a bad experience when she sings about it. I give her credit for that and for surviving this long.

chickelit said...

I give her credit for that and for surviving this long.

She's a bit more like Keith Richards than Mick Jagger in that respect.

Watch that interview which comes up after this video.

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

I that Courtney Cobain?

chickelit said...

No Lem, she's got a different look going: link

AllenS said...

So, who is she?

ndspinelli said...

AllenS, Like Trooper, he strings it out WAY too fucking long!

Michael Haz said...

THE BIG QUESTION!

ndspinelli said...

Even after we're told I think a lot of us are still going to say, "who the fuck is that." Trooper and chick can be insular.

This would be a much more effective anti-drug poster than the usual heroin chic chick.
