Easy Come, Easy Go

I'm listening to a streaming of Marianne Faithfull's new album and damn, damn, damn this woman is incredible. She's only getting better with age. Her voice now is just out of this world, it's certainly not the angelic voice of hers from the 60s but certainly all of her history and life lived since then is layered, etched, and burned into her smokey, gritty and empowered voice. Looking at a photograph of her at age 60, she is stunning. I'm gonna go ahead and put her higher up on the list of women I want to grow up to be. How do these women do it? I'm pretty sure living your life passionately and uncompromisingly is the answer. I'm in.
