For those of you with facebook access, some nice photos here from a 'Keith Richards Visits NYPL' page :

http://www.facebook.com/#!/album.php?aid=259588&id=21557622350

Pretty sure thats Debi (Boosabops) in the first pic.

Apparently, Shelly Lazar snagged about 75 of the tickets. Sounds like another event which the regular fans did very well to get anywhere near.


Exactly,it's not even a concert and fans are getting fucked. I would love to have one of these syncophant so called journalists ask Keith about the Stones business practices. Charging obscene prices for tickets. Having a web site that does nothing but fleece fans. Running the band as a corporation rather than a band. Passing the blame onto to Jagger and Cohl while he sits back and counts his money. Somebody wake me up when somebody does something besides kiss his ass. Fuck you Gazza, Will ya?

Who is Shelly Lazar? The name rings a familiar bell.

I'll glad I got my refund from the library. This event seemed like a scam.

I went to see the Black Crowes instead. They played Just Wanna See His Face and OWNED it. Three hours of music. No talking. No nonsense. Les Pauls and Fenders. Drums. Vocals. Rock and roll.

No worries. My post was a reply to Steel Wheels' "who is" question.

I share your opinion of Ms. Lazar.

Gotdablouse, I owe you an apology. I got "Life" and, almost unconsciously, flipped toward the end! I figured, I've heard everything else; I want what's new -- now! I think I found it a little more revealing than you did, though. And it got me questioning some of the harsh things I've said about Keith over the last few years. When I read of tracks cut in the "L," plus Ronnie's statement recently that they worked on some of Keith's unused BB tracks -- maybe Keith hasn't been so unproductive after all. Certainly this book is evidence of considerable effort, of a different kind than we're accustomed from Keith.

I start to piece things together: a brilliant Hank Williams cover in "You Win Again." Working with Norah Jones and Willie Nelson. Covering Hoagy Carmichael with the Stones. Composing with Blondie and Bernard, yielding vocally and harmonically complex tunes like "Stop" and "Thief" ... More Wingless Angels. ... Is it possible, as Keith hints at in the book several times, that he's just not all that interesting in writing "Stonesy" rock-and-roll songs anymore? Could there be a trove of unreleased "You Win Again," "This Place Is Empty"-type fragments in the Keith vault? And who knows what else?

Will we ever hear them? It's the kind of things critics would drool over, as opposed to the "cock, tits, and booty" fare that Mick is still keen on serving up.

Hehe and apology accepted Wink

Yes I've been thinking about that too, the book has its merits even though it doesn't always dig as deep as it could and Keith is just happy to dispense his wisdom page after page all around the "I don't live life by the rules" moto...but as someone pointed out he's happy to let Mick and Cohl take the crap and count his money.

About the "L Studio", I think Gazza posted recently that Patti had said that it wasn't even there anymore ? I think that if he'd had enough finished tracks he would have put it out, certainly if someone had vetoed him he would have complained about it in his book...or maybe not!

Yes, the "L" was dismantled due to Patti's cancer -- as valid a reason to shut down a home studio as there's ever been!

As for the BB sessions, it's not obvious to me that Keith's stuff was vetoed. It's possible it just never got properly teed up. The way Keith likes to work in the studio, as people like Wachtel attest in the book, is to improv for hours until something "sticks." Mick the money-machine marionette very explicitly ruled out that kind of process for BB -- "no f*cking about," no endless 12-bar jams, etc. Maybe the album was so extraordinarily Mick-heavy is not because Keith is creatively dried up -- as I suspected, and mourned -- but that he just collided headlong into the Cohl/Jagger timeline barrier. I think I speculated along these lines at the time, but the book seems to confirm it further...

Are you being ironic about his home studio being closed down? Not sure how it helped Patti that Keith could no longer record music easily?

You'd think Keith would have had stuff fleshed out after 10 years mucking around in his studio, but what I meant is that nothing was preventing him from releasing a solo album if he'd finished an album worth of "You win again" style songs, as a side note I heard it at Chipotle the other day and my wife coulnd't believe it was Keith singing, great version!

The bigger problem I have with Keith's book is that there is no one to look at the other side of the coin, something Peter Ames Carlin does admirably on his Macca book I'm just finishing. There are some interesting moments when Keith writes something and then there is a quote "I'd better let xyz give his thoughts..." and it's very different! Notably on his meeting with Patti! What else is he not remembering properly?!

For instance it would be interesting to know why Mick apparently kept saying "Oh Keith just shup up" during their meetings in the nineties, Mick is not an idiot and he's English, so there must have been good reasons for him to say that, Keith is trying to suggest it was completely arbitrary and that Mick has a siege mentality, etc...I suspect Keith was being completely aloof in these meetings as he was during that European tele-press conference where he was completely out of it and Mick was trying to distract attention away from him!

Good point for Keith, he sets the record straight on Anita not being raped when she was jailed in Kingston in 1973 and Keith subsequently giving money to Sanchez to have the guy who let that happen killed...you have to wonder why Spanish Tony made up that story though, Keith suggests it was at the instigation of his ghost writer...

I'm pretty sure Patti said in the Vogue interview that she preferred that the "L" shut down while she recovered. ...

As for Keith opting to sit on unreleased material rather than release it on his own shingle -- who's to say for sure? We do know he has criticized Mick, severely at times, for not keeping a low enough profile during the Stones' off years. Maybe he feels, at this point, it's the Stones or nothing. A pity, if so.

Life debuts at #3 in UK with 28,213 copies sold:



Keef, Katie Price, Chris Evans and the Meerkat hit top 50
02.11.10 | Philip Stone

Four celebrity memoirs début in the Official UK Top 50 this week, bringing the total number of celeb-mems in the chart to 12. This is a significant improvement on the same week last year when just three made the Official UK Top 50.

Three of the débuting four take positions in the top 10, led by Rolling Stones legend Keith Richards' Life (Weidenfeld), which sold 28,213 copies in its opening week in bookshops. It takes third position in the Official UK Top 50, behind the latest edition of Guinness World Records (in second) and Jamie Oliver's Jamie's 30-minute Meals (Michael Joseph) which sold a phenomenal 78,606 copies at UK booksellers last week—the strongest ever October weekly sale since records began.

Katie Price's fourth memoir in just over six years, You Only Live Once (Century) sold 17,752 copies in its opening week in shops, and takes seventh position overall, while TV star Aleksandr Orlov's A Simples Life (Ebury) débuts in ninth place. Chris Evans' tales of his wilderness years, Memoirs of a Fruitcake (HarperCollins), is the fourth celebrity entry into the top 50, selling 10,671 copies last week. It takes 24th place.

Kate Mosse's The Winter Ghosts (Orion), the fifth most popular purchase at UK bookshops last week, débuts in pole position in this week's mass-market fiction chart thanks to a Waterstone's "link-save"-boosted 20,743 sale, while new books by three of the biggest names in fiction join the Original Fiction Top 20. John Grisham's The Confession (Century) and Patricia Cornwell's Port Mortuary (Little, Brown) take second and third place respectively, while Danielle Steel's Legacy (Bantam Press) charts in eighth.

Also new into the Original Fiction list is comedienne Dawn French's first novel, A Tiny Bit Marvellous (Michael Joseph), which sold 4,182 copies in its first week in shops.

This week's Top 20 Paperback Non-fiction chart welcomes two new entries—feline books from the en-vogue pet memoir genre. Helen Brown's Cleo (Hodder) charts in 11th place, while Denis O'Connor's Paw Tracks at Owl Cottage (Constable), the follow-up to the surprise, tear-inducing 2009 hit Paw Tracks in the Moonlight, sneaks in at number 19.

Meanwhile, in children's, annuals are slowly climbing the charts ahead of Christmas. The Beano remains the bestseller, with Peppa Pig and Doctor Who close behind in sales terms.

In total, £35.9m was spent at UK booksellers last week, up 4.5% week-on-week but down 0.4% on the same week last year when Guinness World Records topped the chart for the first time in 2009.

Keith's 1-hour interview on 'The Culture Show' just now on BBC was very good. 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.



can we watch that online anywhere?

edit:

seem some people can:

not in France though...


For those that live outside the UK i have uploaded the show here

The first five minutes is missing (i forgot to set the recorder) but it was only about his childhood.
