Marianne Faithfull receives French honour

[www.bbc.co.uk]

Singer Marianne Faithfull has been awarded one of France's highest cultural honours at a Paris ceremony.

The 64-year-old was made Commander of the Arts and Letters by Frederic Mitterrand, the French Minister of Culture and Communication.

The British performer, who now lives in Paris and Ireland, said she was "very, very grateful to be so honoured".

The award recognises figures who have contributed to the "enrichment of the French cultural inheritance".

"Since I started coming to Paris in 1964, the French have welcomed me and been very loving," Faithfull said.

The singer, who had her first hit the same year, recently released her 23rd album Horses & High Heels.

She is currently in the middle of a European tour and will perform three dates in the UK in May.

Happens in everyone's home:

GAIL ZAPPA: "What I recall is that [Jagger] came over with Marianne Faithful, and she spent a few minutes demonstrating her ability on the tambourine and then pulled her clothing apart to reveal the bruises it caused on her ass and on her hip. That was very exciting." From LAUREL CANYON by Michael Walker

So both Marianne and Sir Michael are commanders then. The only thing missing now is a war for them to lead their forces in. Of course, Sir Michael keeps his warhorses busy which is good for the armory.
