The Times Online has a sweet interview up on the site today with one of the women I admire the most from my favourite decade. The reason being Miss Boyd has published a book finally spilling the beans on her infamous relationships with George Harrison and Eric Clapton.
The muse for both artists (perhaps more so for Clapton) inspired the lyrics for such classic songs as Layla and Wonderful Tonight. I have ordered my copy from Amazon and cannot wait to read it.
There are excerpts available online which I am sure you will take a peak at. To be honest it does kind of remind me of the Absolutely Fabulous sketch where Patsy has slept with some famous politician and she says its not 'like the sixties when there where all these gorgeous little things like Mandy Rice-Davies'. Its true...to be 'with the band' then had (and for me still does) this serous air of coolness. I think thats why I love all them girls - Marianne Faithful, Anita Pallenberg, Patti et al. They were just soooo alluring.
Damn why wasn't I born then?
Anyways at least its helped me decided what to wear and where to go this weekend...silver 60's tunic and Madam Jo Jo's.

Not forgetting poor old Nico. Strangely, I was there. I lived in Gloucester Road and was a doorman at the Royal Albert Hall in the evenings in the days when no-one minded if I stood on stage behind the speakers. I'm catching up now on acquiring all the French 60's pop I heard on the radio and which wasn't in the shops then. Great blog by the way! You've inspired me to resume mine.
