The Convent educated bad girl of the Sixties has passed at 78. The beauty of her youth may have been wrecked by her self-destructive drug habit but she clawed back to re-invent herself with Broken English and Strange Weather is one of my favourite albums. She had been ill for some time. RIP Marianne.

(Btw, before anyone mentions it, the infamous Mars Bar incident with Keef was
apparently all lies 😮 )
