Every time this clown leaves the country he embarrasses us on the world stage.

My long yet heartfelt love letter to the indestructibly cool Marianne Faithfull. Nobody ever had more fun playing the old rock star. She made her last gem She Walks in Beauty after her lungs finally gave out. She didn’t let that stop her. Nothing did. rollingstone.com/music/music-fe…
