“He was constantly making me mixed tapes, and he would do beautiful drawings on them.” – Patti Hansen (on her courtship with Keith)

Unbelievably she is the most beautiful specimen in the WORLD. But that ain’t it! It certainly helps but it’s her mind, her joy of life and she thinks this battered junkie is the guy she loves. I’m over the moon and peeing in my pants.” — Keith Richards about Patti Hansen right after their first date. Quote taken from his autobiography, Life.

He doesn’t know this, but he was the first one who gave me a little more confidence in myself because in an interview for a French magazine for young girls he said that I was his ideal woman.”  – Francoise Hardy on Mick Jagger

Bob Dylan wrote the following poem about Hardy:

Some Other Kinds Of Songs

for françoise hardy

at the seine’s edge
a giant shadow
of notre dame
seeks t’ grab my foot
sorbonne students
whirl by on thin bicycles
swirlin’ lifelike colors of leather spin
the breeze yawns food
far from the bellies
of erhard meetin’ johnson
piles of lovers
fishing
kissing
lay themselves on their books. boats.
old men
clothed in curly mustaches
float on the benches
blankets of tourists
in bright red nylon shirts
with straw hats of ambassadors …

“I don’t know how she did it. Fire
She was shaking all over. It took
her hours to put her make-up on.
But she did it. Even the false eye-lashes.
She ordered gin with triple
limes. Then a limousine. Everyone
knew she was the real heroine of
Blonde on Blonde.
oh it isn’t fair
oh it isn’t fair
how her ermine hair
turned men around
she was white on white
so blonde on blonde
and her long long legs
how I used to beg
to dance with her
but I never had
a chance with her…”

Excerpt from the poem “Edie Sedgwick” by Patti Smith
