"Editor's note: On a recent morning, the journalist Bill Wyman received a UPS package containing a typed manuscript. On reading it, he saw that it seemed to be the thoughts, at some length, of singer Mick Jagger on the recently published autobiography of his longtime songwriting partner in the Rolling Stones, Keith Richards. A handwritten note on an old piece of Munro Sounds stationery read: 'Bill: For the vault. M.'

"From this, Wyman surmised that the package was intended for Jagger and Richards' former bandmate, the bassist Bill Wyman, who has assiduously overseen the band's archives over the past five decades and with whom Wyman the journalist coincidentally shares the same name. Wyman the journalist, a longtime rock critic, was once threatened with a cease-and-desist letter from Wyman the bassist's Park Avenue attorneys and felt no compunction about perusing the contents of the package. The manuscript he received is reprinted below.


" 'I am, I see here, marginally endowed, if I read Keith's sniggering aright. I do not sing well, either. I am not polite to employees; indeed, I have even been known to say, "Oh, shut up, Keith," in band meetings. I do not appreciate the authenticity of the music or the importance of what we do. I want to "lord it over" the band, like James Brown. I am "insufferable." I slept with Anita....' "

("Mick" apparently missed all the times they played "Sway" live...)

shit! this is a funny read, even if it's fake. i've been reading for 15 minutes and am halfway through...

Mick must write his book !

:blankfriggingstare1

Somebody will write it for him, and never even get as close to his "voice" as this journalist did. I'd rather see a good filmmaker like Neil Young chronologer Jim Jarmusch, or Jonathan Demme, make a pushy documentary.  Grill him till he gets tired and pissed off.  Be as sadistic as the interviewer in Charlie is My Darling.

I'm bumping "Mick's" review because there's some perceptive stuff in it {though a little of the too-familiar also).  Maybe this guy should write Mick's book...
