Keith-Life Audiobook
Aug 15^th, 2010 at 5:25pm

I just came across info on LIFE at http://www.hachettebookgroup.com/books_9781600242403_Description.htm

As lead guitarist of the Rolling Stones, Keith Richards created the riffs, the lyrics, and the songs that roused the world. A true and towering original, he has always walked his own path, spoken his mind, and done things his own way.

Now at last Richards pauses to tell his story in the most anticipated autobiography in decades. And what a story! Listening obsessively to Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters records in a coldwater flat with Mick Jagger and Brian Jones, building a sound and a band out of music they loved. Finding fame and success as a bad-boy band, only to find themselves challenged by authorities everywhere. Dropping his guitar's sixth string to create a new sound that allowed him to create immortal riffs like those in "Honky Tonk Woman" and "Jumpin' Jack Flash." Falling in love with Anita Pallenberg, Brian Jones's girlfriend. Arrested and imprisoned for drug possession. Tax exile in France and recording Exile on Main Street. Ever-increasing fame, isolation, and addiction making life an ever faster frenzy. Through it all, Richards remained devoted to the music of the band, until even that was challenged by Mick Jagger's attempt at a solo career, leading to a decade of conflicts and ultimately the biggest reunion tour in history.

In a voice that is uniquely and unmistakably him--part growl, part laugh--Keith Richards brings us the truest rock-and-roll life of our times, unfettered and fearless and true.

Never was a big audiobook listener. It would be cool if it was a dvd with clips and pictures of what he's talking about, though.

After all these years of railing about Mick and his "superstar" trip, Keith does the most celebrity-cliche thing there is: the memoir. It will interesting, that for sure.

Are you guys kidding? Having Keith narrate his life story??? I've been waiting for this for years! I'm going to be listening to it all day long You rock!

Texile, I don't think this is unlike Keith at all - I mean, it's more than obvious he likes telling stories (and often not letting reality get in the way of a good one Grin

) After all, he's got a story worth telling and he's in the right age to do it, so why not? No matter how stereotypical memoirs have gotten to be, a book is still a book, and when it's a good one, again, why not?

I obviously can't wait to get all the possible editions - hardback, paperback, audiobook, the works baby Cool
