My local Waterstones today.

Lucky you, Paul.

I've had my copy pre-ordered for a month (on that same 50% deal) - and Waterstones didnt receive their consignment today.

Very pissed off!

Haha! We ordered from the same shop didn't we? Fountain street Waterstones? I was raging but I kinda knew when I went in and it wasn't on display. I was wondering why they weren't making any fuss then I realized!!!! I was in kinda early so I foolishly hoped that they just hadn't setthem out yet although it was like 12 o'clock.

They said they'd ring me so in gonna be sitting beside the phone all week!

Yep. Same shop. LOL. Got mine today after a bit of confusion. We should meet for lunch and I'll read passages out loud to you!

Looks great - I am now reading it with my penis. Which also looks great.

Ok, slightly worried about the whole reading with penis thing but before you seek the mental help you may require, They have it in today?!?!

They told me that they'd ring me! Instead of reading passages out to me, you should stand at that ridiculous monument thing at Corn Market where the wee dancers and street performers go and screams out the book at the top of your voice. Get a mega phone and you'll be like all the preachers that used to be on the go in the city!

It wasn't that you said you reserved it rather than saying you preordered it? I made that mistake yesterday not realizing that the punishment was a sarcastic comment and a dirty look from the women behind the counter.

Aye, they told me they'd ring me as well....but then I think they're sick of the sight of me calling in every day this week. They had only got three of the pre-ordered copies in, but gave me mine as I'd prepaid in full and had my receipt.

Dont worry about the penis remark. It's a long-running 'Joeyism' on here!

Have read the first two paragraphs (plus occasional dips into the later pages, as I cant resist). Much better than I thought it would be, and laugh out loud funny. Also, having read the bit about his infant son dying from cot death, quite poignant in parts .

Recon I'd be able to pick up my copy tomorrow?
I'm gonna try and be disciplined and not dip in and out to the juicy bits but read it from start to finish. May be difficult though...

I'm glad yer all enjoying it while I'm not able to get mine until tomorrow. Sad

MICK DIDNT SAY A WORD TO BOBBY KEYS ON THE STEEL WHEELS TOUR !
What the fuck?

Haven't read LIFE yet, but Bill German already wrote that in his book if memory serves. As well as many other "sad" stories on that tour.

Having said that, what's the best place to LIFE in the US ? Borders are showing it at $50 with a cheaper version available at $32 on 01/11.

Barnes and Noble $22.

Are you fucking serious?

p.117, extract from Keith's diary, Mon 14th Jan 1963...

"Flamingo club. Surprise!!! Rick and Carlo played. Without a doubt the Rollin' Stones were the most fantastic group operating in the country tonight. Rick and Carlo are 2 of the best...

Rick and Carlo! Carlo Little was a butcher, a killing drummer, great energy. And Ricky Fenson on bass, a lovely player. They had bleached their hair for the gig. And who did they really work for? Screaming Lord effing Sutch. From time to time they'd sit in with us - that's when Charlie still wasn't with us, and it's why he decided to join the band. because he heard we had this red-hot rhythm section. Ricky and Carlo, if they went into a solo, they would go into turbo max. The room would take off; they almost blew us off the stage they were so good. The two of them together. When Carlo set into that bass drum, this is what I'm talking about. This was rock and roll! As a kid, to play with these guys, who were only two or three years older than we were, but they had been at it a long time, was something. The first time they took me in there - "OK, it goes like this" - and suddenly had this rhythm section behind me, whoa! That was the first time I got three
feet off the ground and into the stratosphere"

Some footage in it I wasnt familiar with, too. Concentrated almost exclusively on the period up to the late 60s, but was pretty well done and Keith was on good form.
