Marianne Remains Faithfull

Marianne Faithfull came to prominence in the 60s in pop and rock and relationships with Mick Jagger and other rock figures. She dropped out for awhile due to a struggle with drug abuse, but has now had a distinguished long career in many different areas, working as a singer, songwriter, actress and diarist. She has collaborated with such people as David Bowie, Beck, Keith Richards, Tom Waits, Roger Waters and The Chieftains. She ranked No. 25 in VH1’s “100 Greatest Women in Rock and Roll.”
The new album, EASY COME, EASY GO finds a serene, 62-year-old Faithfull decades removed from her tortured depths, singing with an almost regal calm. Faithfull's guests include Nick Cave, Cat Power, Antony Hegarty, Rufus Wainwright, and Kate & Anna McGarrigle.

Memorabilia from some of punk rock's biggest acts and seminal moments — including a scrawled flier for one of the Clash's first shows and publicity photos signed by the Sex Pistols — is headed for a November 24, 2008 Christie's auction.
The event, announced Tuesday, includes more than 120 records, photos and promotional pieces for such punk, garage rock and new wave legends as the Velvet Underground, Patti Smith, the Ramones, David Bowie, Blondie, the Cure and the Smiths.
The auction is Christie's first to focus on punk mementos, signaling the collectible status of a brash, anti-authoritarian rock movement that largely thumbed its nose at posterity.
