I'll be honest...I never have [and never will] have any time for Marianne Faithfull.
Asides from being associated with various members of The Rolling Stones in the 1960's, what has this lady done of importance in her life? Further to this, why is she "critically acclaimed" in all of her chosen pursuits?
Some important things to note:
1. She can't sing to save her life.
2. She is an appalling actress.
Earlier this month, I read with amusement that Marianne Faithfull would be "headlining" a musical production as part of the Sydney Festival 2010. The production was known as "Rogue's Gallery", being a collection of pirate ballads, sea songs and chanteys. Sounds terrible? At $145.00 per paying head, it would want to be good...
This morning I read the reviews of "Rogue's Gallery" in the Sydney Morning Herald; one of the worst musical performances witnessed in recent times. Special mention was made of Ms. Faithfull's "performance". She actually admitted to having not learned any of the songs she was to "sing", and as such "spoke" her lyrics counter to the musical melody.
Don't say I told you so...
