Going Bust


My favorite (in the sartorial sense) Mick and Marianne go to court day - May 29, 1969.  Dear God, what I would give for a snakeskin jacket like that! (Marianne must have loved that thing because she wore it to a Blind Faith show at Hyde Park as well).

"Mick and Marianne are arrested at their home in Chelsea on May 28, 1969.  They are charged with drug-related offenses but are released on bail and drive home.  Mick maintains that the 'substances' being consumed at the time of the police raid were cherries, toast, and honey."
