O winter of my speechlessness,
The barely there sun in my open mouth.
My tracks leading nowhere celebrate
My silence.

“Faithfull’s voice, raggedly notched and erratic, sometimes starts flat or strikes a note that’s like a bald tire hitting a patch of glare ice. But what’s there all the time is this ripping knife of an alto, rueful and accusing and strangely vulnerable. What is in this voice? Only a few notes perhaps but a gallon of prussic acid, a season of tropical cloudbursts, the grittiest pale Northern skies, the emptiest grey hotel rooms. And endless, sleepless flights, thousands of cigarettes, Remy Martin, sex that’s the nostalgia of sex and happiness that’s just the memory of happiness. Hope that if you die before you awake you really won’t be aware of it. And the most unexpected sweetness.”
/ Gary Indiana reviewing Marianne Faithfull’s concert at the Bottom Line in NYC for The Village Voice on 15 December 1987 /
Happy birthday to exquisitely ravaged, resilient and timeless gravel-voiced art-rock diva of broken hearts (and the woman Tom Waits describes as “the aunt offering you a cigarette at a wedding when you’re 11”), Marianne Faithfull (born 29 December 1946). The closest equivalent we have to a present-day, post-punk Dietrich, Piaf or Holiday turns 77 today. Pictured: portrait by Wayne Maser, circa 1995 (around the time of her A Secret Life album). Read my 2011 interview with Faithfull here.

why do you guys block people for «proshipping» when you also draw this kind of content? why do you bully people for the stingray/warden, but you draw warden/jared when warden is all about abusing and humiliating jared? why do you talk about morality when it comes tO SUPERJAIL, WHERE THERE'S NON-STOP SLAUGHTER, GURO, BLOOD, SEX, IMMORAL STUFF, SWASTIKAS ON THE FACES OF THE INMATES, AND JOKES ABOUT PRISON RAPE?!?!
it's an animated series about murderers, rapists and maniacs, and warden is a SADIST AND A PSYCHOPATH who violates banal human rights. let's cancel superjail if you see everything as «problematic»

Marianne Faithfull // Why’d Ya Do It
When I stole a twig from our little nest
And gave it to a bird with nothing in her beak
I had my balls and my brains put into a vice
And twisted around for a whole fuckin' week
"Why'd you do it?", she said
"Why'd you let that trash
Get a hold of your cock get stoned on my hash?"
"Why'd you do it?", she said
"Why'd you let her suck your cock?
Oh, do me a favor don't put me in the dark"
"Why'd you do it?", she said
"They're mine all your jewels
You just tied me to the mast of the ship of fools"
"Why'd you do it", she said
"When you know it makes me sore
'Cause she had cobwebs up her fanny
And I believe in giving to the poor"
"Why'd you do it", she said
"Why'd you spit on my snatch?
Are we out of love now is this just a bad patch?"
"Why'd you do it", she said
"Why'd you do what you did?
You drove my ego to a really bad skid"
"Why'd you do it", she said
"Ain't nothing to laugh
You just tore all our kisses right in half"
"Why'd you do it", she said
"Why'd you do what you did
Betray my little oyster for such a low bid?"
"Why'd you do it", she said
"Why'd you do what you did?"
You drove my ego to a really bad skid"
"Why'd you do it", she screamed
After all we've said
"Every time I see your dick, I see her cunt in my bed"
Well the whole room was swirling
Her lips were still curling
"Oh why'd you do it", she said
"Why'd you do what you did?"
"Why'd you do it", she said
"Why'd you do what you did?"
"Why'd you do it", she said
"Why'd you do it", she said
"Why'd you do what you did?"
Oh big, grey, mugger
I love you forever
Oh with your barbed wire pussy
And your good and bad weather
