Why d'ya do it.
Best F U song ever.
I wore that song out during one period in my life.

@GottaLaff Rest in Peace, Marianne Faithfull.

@GottaLaff
Oh, you write this too.
It's so sad.
I wrote about a memory of her about 10 days ago and kept humming in her voice since then, weird because I never really do. And yesterday, I suddenly thought she had died and that I had to check this (I didn't yet). Now this, it's really sad. And strange that I kept thinking about her since about 10 days ago.

@GottaLaff
The biggest issue I had with Maryanne Faithfull is how often she was confused with Melanie Safka. Back when we were using things like lime wire to steal songs for our home computers, there was rampant confusion. As I recall, Maryanne had a deeper and slightly raspier voice.
