NEW YORK — Don't make them whisper: Keith Richards and Jay-Z each will give talks this fall at the New York Public Library.

The Rolling Stones guitarist will speak Oct. 29 at the Celeste Bartos Auditorium at the library's main branch on 5th Avenue as part of the promotion for his memoir "Life." Jay-Z will discuss his memoir "Decoded" on Nov. 15.

The library has hosted musicians before, including members of the Velvet Underground and David Byrne of Talking Heads.

Other upcoming guests announced Wednesday will likely attract a more bookish crowd: Nobel laureate Toni Morrison, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet W.S. Merwin and Israeli novelist David Grossman.

Betcha Keef will be making all the rounds in NYC that week.
Maybe another visit to Jimmy Fallon, or a stop at the Ed Sullivan Theatre.

And hopefully a book signing...

This article says that Keith's NYPL appearance includes a book signing.

If that's accurate, and he's only doing one signing, tickets just got exponentially tougher...


Keith Richards Book Has Release Date


As Gibson.com previously reported, Rolling Stones guitarist and rock legend Keith Richards has been working on an autobiography. Now that book has a name and release date. Life will be available in stores and through online retailers on October 26.

According to a press release from publisher Little, Brown & Company, the book will cover Richards’ entire career: “The man himself tells his story of life in the crossfire hurricane. Listening obsessively to Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters records, learning guitar and forming a band with Mick Jagger and Brian Jones. The Rolling Stones’ first fame and the notorious drug busts that led to his enduring image an outlaw folk hero. Creating immortal riffs like the ones in “Jumping Jack Flash” and “Honky Tonk Women.” Falling in love with Anita Pallenberg and the death of Brian Jones. Tax exile in France, wildfire tours of the U.S., isolation and addiction. Falling in love with Patti Hansen. Bitter estrangement from Jagger and subsequent reconciliation. Marriage, family, solo albums and Xpensive Winos, and the road that goes on forever.”

“Keef” wrote the book with author James Fox, who had an international best-seller with White Mischief. Richards and Fox have known each other since the latter was a writer for the Sunday Times in the late ’70s.

According to the press release, “With his trademark disarming honesty, Keith Richard brings us the story of a life we have all longed to know more of, unfettered, fearless, and true.”

The week of the book’s release, Richards is scheduled to speak and do a signing at the New York City Library’s main branch in Manhattan.

Called the NYPL today.

Was told these appearances "usually" include signings, and books can be purchased at the event.

No firm on sale date yet, but tickets should be available about a month in advance.
Demand is expected to be very high.

The e-mail list will supposedly get the first heads up, and a yay or nay on Keith's signing will be included...

Where exactly is it you're from, Keith? What's that? Dartford? What, that place just south of London?

If you're going to to the one book signing Mr. Richards, it should be WH Smith's in friggin' Dartford High Street. New York City my arse!  Angry

I'm going to sell my Black Crowes ticket for the Tower Theater that night to go to Keef's book signing. My fingers are crossed that he does sign books. To my fellow Rocks-off'ers-If you see someone pass out after having Keef sign his book-that's going to be me.

I love the Rolling Stones. They are the greatest.

Great! NYC! BUT with only 200 tickets to be released, those will go to VIP's, bookstore owners, advertising execs and friends. It's all about who you know in NY, not what you know. Or you can grease somebody's palm at the door but it's going to take a lot of grease. I'll try to get in and show up at the Library and I might walk away disappointed but it's worth a shot.

Incidently, the Library used to be a place where drug dealers hung out at night and cars would drive by for a nickle or a dime bag, and you never got out of the car! Then it got dangerous when they started selling crack and you could spot the lookout men on top of the building across the street holding big guns. It seems ironic that KEEF would use the Library for the book signing location. Bookworms by day and Druglords by night! I wonder if KEEF knows about it. I bet he does.

They use to sell loose joints for the lunch time crowd. I know, I was a steady customer, everyday. That was back in 1983ish. Loose joints and shish kabobs a.k.a. cat kabob's from the vendors on the corner.

People who only been in NYC the last 10 years or so, have no idea how crazy NYC use to be...of course I use the word crazy in a good way.  Cool

Vanity Fair interviewed Nick Kent for his latest book, Apathy for the Devil: A 70s Memoir.

An excerpt regarding Life:

Are you looking forward to the Keith Richards memoir?

Oh, yeah. I gave an interview for it, so I might even be in it. I might even be quoted in it. I’m gonna read it, sure. I’ve been often in touch with James Fox, the guy who’s writing it—not to be confused with James Fox, the actor in Performance. This is another James Fox, who did a very successful book called White Mischief. James is Keith’s age, and he had a brain aneurysm and had a metal plate in his head, and that’s the reason that Keith warmed to him, because Keith of course has a metal plate in his head. James said that Keith was rather disinterested, and I believe it was James saying, “I’ve got this piece of metal in my head,” that made the difference. Keith said, “Oh, you’ve got a piece of metal in your head, you’re on. You can be my ghost writer.”
