Stones in Exile Page #2

Synopsis: In 1971, to get breathing room from tax and management problems, the Stones go to France. Jimmy Miller parks a recording truck next to Keith Richards and Anita Pallenberg's Blue Coast villa, and by June the band is in the basement a few days at a time. Upstairs, heroin, bourbon, and visitors are everywhere. The Stones, other musicians and crew, Pallenberg, and photographer Dominique Tarle, plus old clips and photos and contemporary footage, provide commentary on the album's haphazard construction. By September, the villa is empty; Richards and Jagger complete production in LA. "Exile on Main Street" is released to mediocre reviews that soon give way to lionization.

I heard that the whole band

was moving to the South of France,

so, a few weeks later,

I was down in Nice.

I asked, "Do you think it's possible

"to take a few pictures of the Stones

in the South of France?"

And they gave me the name of the place,

Villefranche-sur-Mer, Villa Nellcte.

I just went for an afternoon.

I didn't know Keith and Anita

were living down there.

Of course, the house was beautiful

and the light is incredible

in the South of France in spring.

At the end, I was thanking everybody

for a beautiful afternoon and everything,

and they said to me, "You can stay."

How long were you there for?

Six months.

Admiral Byrd built it.

He was an English admiral.

Steps down

to his own private boating dock.

So I bought a speedboat.

"Splash out, I might be in jail..."

"Let's have some fun while I'm free."

That whole era, just before we

moved to France, was all kind of jittery,

so in a way it was quite a relief

to get to France

and have that off your back

and start learning French.

Anita in Nellcte.

First off,

it was her first year with the baby,

so she was being mother, as well,

and just, sort of, made sure

the joint ran properly.

She was the only one that could argue

with the cook, Fat Jacques.

Until I had Marlon we were

just living in hotel rooms,

moving around constantly.

So, for me, going to

the South of France was great.

It was a wonderful place.

It was very romantic.

I lost, totally, my sense

of time, down there.

It was like a kind of dream,

you know.

Every morning, Keith would be up

at 8:
00, 8:30 in the morning,

and ready to jump in his car,

looking after his kid, Marlon.

No one knew the Stones

in the South of France,

so that they were

able to act and live normally.

We'd go to the zoo,

we would go to the beach.

In the afternoon,

Anita would look after Marlon,

and Keith would play music.

Every morning it would be the same.

It was a normal way of life.

We've been seeing a lot

in the music papers over here,

some pictures of you and

a very beautiful lady called Bianca.

- I believe.

- Yeah.

And all those rumours,

that you must have read about,

anything to say about them?

- No.

- In a word!

Not really.

What can I say,

but rumours, rumours...

Mick Jagger came to St Tropez

for a quiet wedding.

It's been chaotic and it's brought the town

to a standstill.

We knew they was getting married,

and we kind of knew the date,

we were thinking,

"Well, it's on on Saturday,

"and Mick hasn't mentioned it.

"Maybe we'd better

buy him a wedding present."

Then Mick called up

the day before the wedding

and said, "Hi, Bill. I'd like to invite you

to our wedding reception."

And I said, "OK. Thanks."
