Why Marianne Faithfull Matters

“If, as Pearson writes, ‘memory is the Yoko Ono of scholarship’ (p. 2), it is important to note that the once harshly criticized Yoko Ono has many champions today. So, too, let memory studies and an autoethnographic approach to popular music history be celebrated as valuable and innovative ways to understanding why artists like Marianne Faithfull do matter.”
