So Long, Marianne

Here are some pictures of Marianne worse for wear and tear, when her relationship with Mick had crumbled and she began the dark days of the 1970s through her triumph at the end of the decade with Broken English.  Pictured here with Lord Paddy, Oliver Musker and Ben Brierly (and Bowie at his "1980 Floor Show", which was actually in 1973.
