I recently married my partner of over 5 years. We know each other pretty well. Nothing has really changed. In those previous 5 years we experienced so much together including living in and out of a car and leaving state. If you don't know the person you're marrying, you probably shouldn't be marrying.
It's so fascinating to listen to this interview. When one is so very young, one feels so very wise and so intensely idealistic. Even death is but a dream. Then, one grows older and into wisdom (hopefully), and looking back, wonders what that was all about. Little did Marianne know at the time of this interview that hell hadn't even begun to open up its gates...and she would survive. What an amazing woman.
You are so right! Wonder what she say to this. But, that’s precisely why youth is so wonderful, you can chat spontaneously, you can flirt with death, you roll your pretty eyes because you just don’t know how eventually life will beat you, humiliate you , scare you ...
@@mikewalsh6168 the matter with drugs is that you don't know when you start if you have an addictive character. I took some drugs and happily stop easily but I saw some friends who couldn't and it was very sad, but never judge them.

Why be so quick to beat up a 21-year-old 60s girl, nor to comment harshly what time has done to her? Time is waiting for us all, and it gives out its beatings with a free hand.
KaptKan1 Whatever.,. does it really matter? Time and drugs or illness and worry...we all get old. We all die. Whether you enjoy life or barely tolerate it
To MrSmith6000. The reason Marianne Faithfull and Brian Jones sound so similar is because they were both brought up in Middle Class British Homes and both had a good education. This contrasts with the majority of pop stars of the 1960s, who were predominantly Working Class and speak the way most people associate with the Rock and Roll and Music Industry. If you are unfamiliar with the British Class system, which was then even more rife than it is now, you will take for granted these differences, but if you are unaware of them they are probably somewhat puzzling. In those days, all the managers, company owners, Politicians and Professional people spoke with the Middle Class accent you noticed in Brian and Marianne. All the blue-collar working men of the time spoke with the accent you're more familiar with, or regional accents like Liverpool, Newcastle, Cockney or the Midlands. The music industry of the 1960s was very much a Class Revolution in Britain, and this is a point often overlooked today. Intelligent working class people with a bit of musical talent and something to say comprised the majority of people in the music industry then. Brian and Marianne were two of the earliest Middle Class people to get into popular music in Britain at that time. But they were followed by groups like Pink Floyd Genesis and Yes, who were very competent musicians and played firstly psychedelic and then Progressive Rock. These were followed by groups like Queen, all of whom I believe have PhDs under their belts before starting their music careers in case the music didn't work out for them.
You could be right. To those of us of working class extraction the distinction between upper middle class and upper class is rather blurred. And both would have had elocution lessons and be trained from birth to speak "properly" in the Received English of the day. Today's Received English is rather more common-sounding.
Mariannes Mum was a Baroness from Austria but she lived in a 2 up 2 down in Reading. They didn't have much. I knew Eva Errisso well and she strggled with money but John Dunbar wasn't poor. He came from a well to do family with money. Marianne and John are great friends today and they have2 grandchildren
I was completely INDEPENDENT... I was engaged 4 times... I felt like I was suffocating with them controlling my life. I gave every ring back and had a wonderful free life and career. I worked for 38 years and retired at 58 ... Never had children. I did miss that... but I ended up helping all my nephews and nieces get through college... you see, I made a TON of money... but was never happy with STUFF... I'm now helping my GREAT kids get into college. There is a reason for everything... but unless you do for others, there is NOTHING in life.
She's so sweet. I met her in 1968 when she and Mick Jagger visited Frank Zappa's log cabin in Laurel Canyon, Hollywood. They sat in the kitchen with Frank and his wife Gail. Mick and Marianne were like a double act - he spoke, she spoke, he spoke, she spoke. By contract, Gail never spoke. She sat mute, allowing Frank to hold centre stage. Such a contrast.
@@paulinebutcherbird I’m 3/4 of the way through. It’s fantastic she takes responsibility but gives it, too. Has learned so much as we all should. Ahead of her time.
@@Taryngracia If you're interested in rock bios, you might like my own, the story of a young straight, English girl studdenly thrust into the middle of Laurel Canyon, Hollywood, the centre of rock'n'roll, living and working in Frank Zappa's house. After three years I was transformed, and not a single drug taken.
I have listened to this interview many times, I adore her and need not elaborate. I wish I had her old clothes. Lovely Marrianne, I said my words on my mala every night when she had covid. Anita was a stunner but Marianne's eyes and oh those lips...
Of course she was; she was young, very beautiful and on top of the world. If only she knew how deep she would fall within a few years...pride comes before the fall i would say .
I worked for Marianne and John Dunbar was NOT poor believe me.I went to their wedding Marianne came to mine.Love her dearly and even at the time John Dunbar was not poor.
Stunningly beautiful. Intelligent. And while she hated to be described as a muse, as I look at her all I can think of is the 60's, as though she is the embodiment of a decade. I think I'm going to order another one of her albums now.
Marianne is SO clever, eloquent and down to earth and she can laugh at herself- she remarked years later that she shouldn't have been " shooting her mouth off" presumably about subjects at age 20? she wasn't an "expert" on! I love to listen to her speak on any topic, today, and I always read the books she digs- never been disappointed yet. Yeah, imagine some of the contemporary teen singers! " like totally awesome, like, like, SO awesome..." Grrrrrrrrrr
She was just so beautiful. I think that she thought that she knew everything about life, but it´s not before you get older that you know most of life´s lessons. I´m young myself, but I accept that I don´t know anything about most things in life, because I have not had a lot of experiences with many things. I know that there is a lot of lessons that I will get to know in the future and I look forward to that.
The rise of "issue-driven" youngsters "empty headed" or not started in the 60's. I know because these people were slightly older than me and I listened to the pontificating on the telly.........
@@suchabadkitty1293 When drugs were involved, "empty headiness" and "issue driven ideas" were correlated. For example, I never bought into the idea that drugs or meditation brought "enlightenment" as espoused by the "rock heroes" of the day (as if those were new ideas). I realised then, that people 10 years older than me didn't necessarily "know better", and could be naive. As regards today's "clowns", I couldn't possibly comment 🙂
@@suchabadkitty1293 But they did! The excesses and mind altering drugs and alcohol of the 60s in some form, caused the trauma of teenagers today, which in turn caused issues.
cindybin2001 It was the 1960s then..by the way how old are you ma'am? It was a different time if you grew up there as a teenager or a mid-20s person. Because life was absolutely more simple and authentic back then and, they really knew reality! And, mostly of famous celebrities and musicians back then struggled with a lot of things; fame and money pumped them into!! It was an experimental decade. If I grew up in the 1960s or 1970s it doesn't matter how famous I am, I could have tried drugs (or maybe experimented with it) Life is tough when you know reality too much. ....... Ohhhhhh, well she did say that drugs are the doors of preception. That really states that the reason why people were using drugs more, commonly in the 1960s because baby boomers had no idea how it can affect them mentally.!! Without them drugs wouldn't be illegal and we wouldn't know the answer . And do you hate Female Singers??
I can tell that she thinks that she has control over her drug abuse during this interview as she almost talks about drugs as if it`s normal that people are abusing drugs. Yes I know that in the 1960´s a lot of people used LSD and other drugs, but its interesting to see and hear this interview, because of how the drugs nearly destroyed her life (because she was homeless for a period and she nearly died in the mid 1980´s from an overdose of heroin). I´m happy for her and that she made it out on the other side and is still alive today. :)
We all have our faults and possitive points. I think Ms. Faithful is a brave person. She just keeps going. Also agree with Mr. Brown that time gets us all, if we have the luxury of time. Her career is still going on, so she must have done something right.
What an interesting interview she gave at such a young age. I had an instant crush on Marianne Faithfull from the very first song she released, "As Tears Go By". She was so cute, and I was 15 years old, why not a teenage crush. ... So cute !
I wish I could warn this young lady about her grim future. Poor lady. Love, Faith, and giving could have done her a world of good instead of drugs, being on the streets, and loneliness she will face.
This young lady is a reasonably happy 74 year old now, who had (has) a fascinating life.. Her life wasnt plagued by superstitious religion and other such things......she was never on "the streets" as such. She had enough wealthy friends and relatives . And if she was on the street for a while , it was her own choice to be amongst the down and out and maybe get a life's lesson out of it .Just like all of us, she had her downs , nothing out of the ordinary ......You maybe should feel more sorry for those forced on the mariage and 9 to 5 treadmill. ....And young people lost for options in life, who enlist in the bloody army.....or run after religious con men.......
So interesting this 1968 interview, hearing this beautiful 22 year old popular British artist talking about her life experiences and her free flowing late 60's ideas and perceptions of so many things! Just gorgeous and love her speaking manner too.
Her fascination with death became apparent the following year when she almost took her own life in July 1969. That was probably the final straw for MJ as an unstable partner would not be good for Mick Jagger PLC.
@@cs-7 No, she begun to take drugs before him and it seems he really try to help her, like him she had affairs with other men, not saying that Jagger is the best man to live with.
@@Methilde he probably didn't specifically introduce her to drugs, but he definitely helped make her drug habits worse. She probably started with marijuana, then cocaine, and then heroin, which if I'm not mistaken, didn't overdose and go into a coma? Anyway, being with Mick Jagger probably did her more harm than good.
@@Methilde No, Jagger never became a huge drug addict because it's hard to write good songs when you're high all the time. Drugs make you really stupid and I think he knew this. That's why he did his fair share. I don't think he got her on drugs, but he probably worsened her drug abuse.
when you're young and innocent you think nothing can go wrong (even death seems romantic..) and that you know everything...I think she got carried away by poetic imaginings and wrong ideas that led her away from reality and paid a really heavy price. I like her, I think she just wanted to live life to the fullest, she was just devoid of common sense and logic. She could have had a better life.
She was not devoid of common sense--she is a free spirit and had to live by her own ways. That is NOT a bad thing, some people are wired that way and you shouldn't try to change them. She became a real artist.
Watch movie with a much much older Marianne called Irina Palm. It's not for prudes, it's an excellent movie with a big message, but it is a bit raunchy, I love it and it's message and subtle humor. 🌻
July 8 1968, Marianne and Mick Jagger visited Frank Zappa at his log cabin in Laurel Canyon. They sat in the kitchen and discussed politics. I was amazed that Marianne held her own with Mick - they were like a double act, he spoke, she spoke, he spoke, she spoke. In contrast, Gail Zappa, as always when in company with Frank, sat silently by his side, mute.
Marianne is extremely well read, I have a stack near my bed over the years she either mentions a book or I "blow up" the picture and peer at the covers, so she SHOULD influence young people esp, read, read, read...
Been around many cows in our paddocks and never noticed a stuck up one yet Fact is they have lovely big eyes and long lashes. They are wonderfully beautiful, strong, contented creatures. So to draw a parallel with Marianne is ridiculous the lady is on an intellectually higher level. When you condemn her as being stuck up, you may be telling us more about what you are like.
"I've stop..." all smiles, no LSD for me. Reminds me of Arnold Schwarzenegger and his reply to being asked if he ever took steroids for body building, replying "No" with a big grin.
She's so innocent looking,but really was a rebel! Very intellectual very lovely & stylish. Those eyes ! Where so spellbinding. God! Gorgeous lady,high voice ,she was high there Her eyes were huge!!! Likely LSD she much later in life said she was stupid in this interview discussing LSD . Still feel the same about her @ aged 70
I like the way the interviewer directs her toward the topic : :'...marriage wasn't for you, you were looking for something, perhaps you weren't sure what, what else did you try...drugs?"
Hot Young British Lass...Then !!! And Then She made Her appearance in Metallica's The Memory Remains !!! Her love of death ?? Which is why She was friends w/ Jim Morrison and Pamela Courson !!! Also worked w/ Jimmy Page on a few of Her songs and director Kenneth Anger (as did The Rolling Stones) in his ode to Crowley avante-garde cinema Invocation of My Demon Brother /Lucifer Rising !!!
it’s so strange, i can tell she was well read and intelligent but at the same time the things she’s coming out with, especially when it comes to drugs and death, are so immature. but i guess it was the 60s and existentialism was rife among young people and lsd must have given them the perception of real elevation of the mind
She got into big trouble with the Stones after this interview. It’s in her book. They did not like her being so indiscrete about drugs after their legal difficulties the previous year. Marianne just didn’t give a damn though.
Male chauvinist times the 60s were, even though people seem to think there was a lot of empowerment of women - they were still bound by institutionalised lower pay an expectation of a subservient role in society. Marianne is another victim of the male. She was plucked from childhood by her first husband - a junkie, no matter what his talents were outside of his junkiness , and treated like shit by Mick Jagger subsequently. Probably searching for a father figure she lost her way - ended up a junkie and homeless herself. I’m glad she managed to claw her way back with her ‘Broken English’ album. Her autobiography is worth reading - it inks in and explains. Read it and understand more about the life of a woman - any woman
All that groups or bands of boys at the time were always playing it cool amazing songs and music indeed but that guys were victim of society too ,i was watching the rock n roll circus the other days in a picture and i don't now if he was a rehabilitation center for drugs full of junkies ,clapton ,townshed Brian, john, etc or actually a musical special for tv lol weird times, this mentality of im gonna have 3 womans in one night of the musicians in that time make me sick just nasty, seems that males like to fit in too with other males in a macho weird way,just watch jagger eyes you can see the guy was selfish and narcisistic even at a young age was having that tendencies, very cold people some british are makeavelik
Marianne had an image, wrongly so, that she was an airhead, sex mad groupie which was so far removed from the real Marianne. She was funny, very well read (from the classics to modern day poetry), intelligent and utterly beguiling.
Are they? I'm British and I don't believe that for one moment. Have you seen our tabloids? The content of which doesn't inspire confidence in the intelligence of the British people. They certainly don't reflect a superior popular culture either. Most British people read the tabloids - not the broadsheets (quality press). This is the country that made Katie Price a multimillionaire. A Brit founded the 'National Enquirer' in America (you're welcome). It's Marianne's upper class accent that makes her sound intelligent; nothing more. Most people in Britain do not speak like Marianne Faithfull.
There's a range everywhere I suppose maybe the US media gives too much air time to airheads. It's gone that way in the UK these days, unfortunately. It wasn't so bad a couple of decades ago.
Parents try and push "their agendas" on to you.. which isn't a good thing. We are each individuals, what's right for some isn't right for all. Do this, do that, get married, have kids.. not on your life!! You don't have to answer to anyone, but yourself!!
"Before you get married you just don't realize what the person's like, until afterwards."
holy grail advice for marriage
Absolutely! Oh man if only I had known
I think she is pretty right about marriage, but what matters is she is speaking for herself, not for others.
Very true.
I recently married my partner of over 5 years. We know each other pretty well. Nothing has really changed. In those previous 5 years we experienced so much together including living in and out of a car and leaving state. If you don't know the person you're marrying, you probably shouldn't be marrying.

She was such a cute and bubbly young woman, no wonder Mick was taken by her!
And he destroyed her career... and her life
@@cs-7 No, she begun to take drugs before him and it seems he really try to help her, like him she had affairs with other men, not saying that Jagger is the best man to live with.
@@Methilde he probably didn't specifically introduce her to drugs, but he definitely helped make her drug habits worse. She probably started with marijuana, then cocaine, and then heroin, which if I'm not mistaken, didn't overdose and go into a coma? Anyway, being with Mick Jagger probably did her more harm than good.
@@cs-7 Jagger never became a hard drugs addict and she never put the blame on him for that.
@@Methilde No, Jagger never became a huge drug addict because it's hard to write good songs when you're high all the time. Drugs make you really stupid and I think he knew this. That's why he did his fair share. I don't think he got her on drugs, but he probably worsened her drug abuse.
when you're young and innocent you think nothing can go wrong (even death seems romantic..) and that you know everything...I think she got carried away by poetic imaginings and wrong ideas that led her away from reality and paid a really heavy price. I like her, I think she just wanted to live life to the fullest, she was just devoid of common sense and logic. She could have had a better life.
She was not devoid of common sense--she is a free spirit and had to live by her own ways. That is NOT a bad thing, some people are wired that way and you shouldn't try to change them. She became a real artist.
True
@@harmoniabalanza Yeah, but she struggled with drug addiction and lost her voice as a result. So...
Watch movie with a much much older Marianne called Irina Palm. It's not for prudes, it's an excellent movie with a big message, but it is a bit raunchy, I love it and it's message and subtle humor. 🌻
What a charming, and a calming soul she has. She's high on life
She's all over the map with those answers isn't she?
I thought she was charming. She just sharing her musings. She's a 21 year old hippie folk singer for heaves sake.
Stone definitely, dimwit? Not a chance.
What map?
July 8 1968, Marianne and Mick Jagger visited Frank Zappa at his log cabin in Laurel Canyon. They sat in the kitchen and discussed politics. I was amazed that Marianne held her own with Mick - they were like a double act, he spoke, she spoke, he spoke, she spoke. In contrast, Gail Zappa, as always when in company with Frank, sat silently by his side, mute.
speak Marianne we need to hear more from you ! U !
AS long as she doesn't say "groovy".
Marianne is extremely well read, I have a stack near my bed over the years she either mentions a book or I "blow up" the picture and peer at the covers, so she SHOULD influence young people esp, read, read, read...
the song 'carrie anne' by the hollies is really about 'marianne'.
she's a survivor.
In love with the notion of death, not death itself.
I can relate to what shes saying. The marriage thing...
Love this woman 😍
So beautiful ..
Been around many cows in our paddocks and never noticed a stuck up one yet Fact is they have lovely big eyes and long lashes. They are wonderfully beautiful, strong, contented creatures. So to draw a parallel with Marianne is ridiculous the lady is on an intellectually higher level. When you condemn her as being stuck up, you may be telling us more about what you are like.
the memory remains
"I've stop..." all smiles, no LSD for me. Reminds me of Arnold Schwarzenegger and his reply to being asked if he ever took steroids for body building, replying "No" with a big grin.
She’s so young
Wow charismatic charming intelligent simply delightful.
stunning and smart !!☆
She's so innocent looking,but really was a rebel! Very intellectual very lovely & stylish.
Those eyes ! Where so spellbinding. God! Gorgeous lady,high voice ,she was high there
Her eyes were huge!!! Likely LSD she much later in life said she was stupid in this interview discussing LSD .
Still feel the same about her @ aged 70
She was also ambitious and attracted by popularity and money, she said that in a later interview.
@@Methilde So? Who famous isn't?
@@SluttChops No one, but later I heard her saying the reverse, no more.
This book doors of perception is really good
The Carrie Anne that the Hollies wrote about....
Born to be a Lady!
One of the few beauties for whom you want to do everything!🥰😍🤩
I agree with you
I wasn't born at that time But when I heard about this girl I fell in love with her voice
this woman is wonderful in every way ♥️♥️♥️
❤❤❤Marianne❤❤❤
the most gorgeous girl
I like the way the interviewer directs her toward the topic : :'...marriage wasn't for you, you were looking for something, perhaps you weren't sure what, what else did you try...drugs?"
She's a beautiful, articulate and very bright lady, but in this interview, you can tell that her state of mind - is still somewhat in a drug haze!
and?
On the odd chance that you see this, do you have the full interview? We're looking for this over at Marianne Faithfull Official.
she's so right
Anybody here under 65 ??
21 here. Lol
Yep
Sokushinbutsu is the term I believe that Ms. Faithful was trying elude to at the end of the interview.
So beautiful and not so. I know how it feels when I look in the mirror, very sad.
oh wow.
Hot Young British Lass...Then !!! And Then She made Her appearance in Metallica's The Memory Remains !!! Her love of death ?? Which is why She was friends w/ Jim Morrison and Pamela Courson !!! Also worked w/ Jimmy Page on a few of Her songs and director Kenneth Anger (as did The Rolling Stones) in his ode to Crowley avante-garde cinema Invocation of My Demon Brother /Lucifer Rising !!!
Interviewer: Michael Barratt
Groovy scene.
Wow.
it’s so strange, i can tell she was well read and intelligent but at the same time the things she’s coming out with, especially when it comes to drugs and death, are so immature. but i guess it was the 60s and existentialism was rife among young people and lsd must have given them the perception of real elevation of the mind
Wise beyond her years
She was gorgeous in her younger days.
Bellísima
I feel she should have gone to uni and studied the classics - she's a thinker. Fame and notoriety wasnt for her but she came good in the end.
OMG! She was so beautiful! Where all that beauty went to?
+cindybin2001 Bullshit
+JuanJoT$
As we all know, beauty fades with age.
+eight inches - Glad you self replied, you were looking pretty stupid for a second.
John Smith
Why am I looking stupid?
Stunning 😍😍😍
She got into big trouble with the Stones after this interview. It’s in her book. They did not like her being so indiscrete about drugs after their legal difficulties the previous year. Marianne just didn’t give a damn though.
...alas no......but thanks for the interest...
If you don't do the right drugs with the right mindset, you're screwed.
she s so much like me
+cindybin2001 Best comment on this videos XD
High as a kite😄
Male chauvinist times the 60s were, even though people seem to think there was a lot of empowerment of women - they were still bound by institutionalised lower pay an expectation of a subservient role in society. Marianne is another victim of the male. She was plucked from childhood by her first husband - a junkie, no matter what his talents were outside of his junkiness , and treated like shit by Mick Jagger subsequently. Probably searching for a father figure she lost her way - ended up a junkie and homeless herself. I’m glad she managed to claw her way back with her ‘Broken English’ album. Her autobiography is worth reading - it inks in and explains. Read it and understand more about the life of a woman - any woman
All that groups or bands of boys at the time were always playing it cool amazing songs and music indeed but that guys were victim of society too ,i was watching the rock n roll circus the other days in a picture and i don't now if he was a rehabilitation center for drugs full of junkies ,clapton ,townshed Brian, john, etc or actually a musical special for tv lol weird times, this mentality of im gonna have 3 womans in one night of the musicians in that time make me sick just nasty, seems that males like to fit in too with other males in a macho weird way,just watch jagger eyes you can see the guy was selfish and narcisistic even at a young age was having that tendencies, very cold people some british are makeavelik
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
@@angelicaquirarte You sound insane.
she's either high or bipolar or both. Evident in the interview.
Who is the person asking the questions? He seems so familiar. She’s always so entertaining.
dang she,s just pretty
Marianne had an image, wrongly so, that she was an airhead, sex mad groupie which was so far removed from the real Marianne. She was funny, very well read (from the classics to modern day poetry), intelligent and utterly beguiling.
look at them pretty eyes she has
transcend
If her boyfriend hadn't killed Morrison, her and Jim would have been perfect for each other.
....would have still ended badly though.
The Brits just seem so much more intelligent
That's because they are, I'm afraid. They are, in general, way more articulate.
Are they? I'm British and I don't believe that for one moment. Have you seen our tabloids? The content of which doesn't inspire confidence in the intelligence of the British people. They certainly don't reflect a superior popular culture either. Most British people read the tabloids - not the broadsheets (quality press). This is the country that made Katie Price a multimillionaire. A Brit founded the 'National Enquirer' in America (you're welcome). It's Marianne's upper class accent that makes her sound intelligent; nothing more. Most people in Britain do not speak like Marianne Faithfull.
I think the operative word here is "seem".
There's a range everywhere I suppose maybe the US media gives too much air time to airheads. It's gone that way in the UK these days, unfortunately. It wasn't so bad a couple of decades ago.
Americans generally think anyone with a European accent sounds intelligent
Parents try and push "their agendas" on to you.. which isn't a good thing. We are each individuals, what's right for some isn't right for all. Do this, do that, get married, have kids.. not on your life!! You don't have to answer to anyone, but yourself!!
wow your sitting on " (the) me the bud's !
