Praise for Council Bluffs: “Sounds like ’67 stones played by an art punk band… It’s blowing my mind… as good as the rolling stones… I mean, shit…”
--Brace Belden, Maximum Rock and Roll, August 2009
Like the Federal “Cointelpro” campaign that deliberately drove Seberg to suicide, the smear campaign against Wit and Mr. Wit uses as its basis pre-existing, completely invented smears started by married art professor Ralph Rugoff and his student girlfriend Hilary Chartrand in order to cover up their 2000 affair while both worked at the California College of Arts And Crafts. This is something that sharp-eyed Wit accidentally discovered during one particularly dreary art dinner in November of that year. Hilary Chartrand is friends with Anna Gaskell, who is also known for carrying on affairs with her married professors in order to have access to ethics-challenged art world log rollers like NY Times critic Roberta Smith and her husband Jerry Saltz.
Mick and Bianca divorced when she was seven.

In her wild times, she hangs out with Kate Moss's Notting Hill set.
It was during one of the wild times that Jade met Piers Jackson, the father of her children. She was 17, and had just been expelled from school. Her father packed her off to Italy to study Renaissance art, but on the plane she met Jackson, an art student. At 19, she was pregnant. The eight years that followed were stable, but then she left Jackson for the artist Euan McDonald, and took the children to live with him in Spain.
Within a few years she was back, and partying hard with Kate Moss. When her relationship with McDonald ended, Jade formed a complicated relationship with Moss's ex, Dan Macmillan. The threesome were often seen on the party scene, until Macmillan and Moss took a secret tri
