BSBdG's today for Marianne Faithfull, 57 today. Most remember her for being Mick Jagger's paramour during the 60s, and her hit "As Tears Go By", but she pulled herself out of some very deep holes in the 70s to not only establish a career and record several excellent albums in the late 70s and 80s, but just survive. Not the best, but my favorite, is 1987's Strange Weather.
