“Kenneth Anger laid a terrible curse on me. It was written out in blood. I burnt it at a crossroads”: Marianne Faithfull’s wild tales of Keith Richards, John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan and more

The late Marianne Faithfull was the former Convent schoolgirl who was discovered by then-Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham, propelling her to mid-60s fame. During her long career, she enjoyed early chart success, survived a debilitating drug addiction in the early 70s and made a miraculous comeback at the end of the decade. In 2009, she sat down with Classic Rock to share tales of friends and collaborators from Jimi Hendrix and Keith Richards to Metallica and film-maker Kenneth Anger.
