Well, I remember in those days (60's) a lot of us didn't know Keith used Heroin, even up to the early 70's, we didn't have the mass media information we have today, we only heard it in rock magazines, Rollin' Stone, Ramparts, Crawdaddy, Circus, etc. when the movie "Gimme Shelter" came out, it was the first time a lot of us actually saw a film of what the Stones were like & acted outside of the stage, I, for one copied Keith's hair style, his walk, smoking cigarettes, etc & I know a few other guys who did the same thing, we all thought he was & is so cool, I liked his personality.
As far as drugs goes, yes, hippie drugs-Cannabis & Hallucinogens, Heroin & Cocaine was rich man's drugs in the early 70's, I was always afraid of being a Heroin addict, so I stayed away from that, & Cocaine was very expensive.
Keith certainly influenced me when I was a teenager.

darn tooting blow was expensive back in the seventies. i grew up in toronto and i remember it being 100 dollars a gram.

Wow. And five bucks would get you a double barreled purple mike. No wonder kids spent more time at the Rocky Horror Picture Show and listening to music on their headphones than at dance clubs.

looks like someone is picking up the slack for Keef:

JOHANNESBURG - A South African minibus taxi driver five times over the legal blood alcohol limit at breakfast time was arrested on Wednesday for transporting 49 children in a 16-seat vehicle.

The 26-year-old man was pulled over at a routine check-point in KwaZulu-Natal province, where traffic officials found the children, aged between three and 13, crammed on top of each other for the morning ride to school.

"The man is now behind bars," Colin Govender of the Road Traffic Inspectorate said. The driver is due to appear in court on Thursday.

With the the real football World Cup just months away, police are cracking down on rogue taxi operators in the hope that foreign visitors will use minibuses to get around the country.

Millions of mostly black South Africans use minibus taxis to travel between townships and cities, although many of the vehicles are barely roadworthy and fatal accidents are common.
