The amount of filth that has been written about Anita is beyond belief. From Stones biographies to simple captions under her pictures, and from News capsules to documentaries, very few have been kind or simply fair to her. The rock-star treatment in the Seventies, that is the «you're a bad man but all is forgiven 'cause you're a star, baby, now pass the coke» attitude, the idea that you can do what the hell you please and live like a retarded adolescent when you're in fact a thirtysomething millionnaire, started on a grand scale with the awful machine the Rolling Stones became in one of the most horrible decade ever witnessed in our century. From cute bad-boys in the Sixties to this incarnation we have today there is reason to weep. Reason more considering how the Stones management and profiteers, what Bianca Jagger affectionately called «the Nazi State», behaved towards its female entourage. As if Anita could ever be considered «entourage»!
