You Know Who... Hopes You Don't Look Behind the Curtain

Marianne Faithfull
1946-2025

This was the first show in three weeks that didn’t immediately follow some kind of medical procedure.
I found out mid-show that Marianne Faithfull passed away. Had I known even an hour before I might have had a more esoteric song to play as a tribute. Actually, a better choice came to mind only after playing “The Ballad of Lucy Jordan.” Perhaps that will be something for the next show.
