Keith Richards - Life
Mar 31^st, 2010 at 1:48pm

With the Rolling Stones, Keith Richards created the songs that roused the world, and he lived the original rock and roll life.

Now, at last, 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 US, 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.

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.

Hardcover: 496 pages
Publisher: Little, Brown and Company (October 26, 2010)

Posts: 13,231 Belfast, UK Gender:	Re: Keith Richards - Life Reply #9 - Mar 31^st, 2010 at 5:29pm Id like to think thats merely a working title - and probably a working 'cover' as well. Some pc-obsessed twat will probably insist on the book being displayed and sold in a paper bag, in case someone takes up smoking because of the cover and gets lung cancer.
