With the Stones’ built-in audience ranging anywhere
from a million to possibly
a million and a half world wide and the
NY Times best seller list threshold with initial print
run of 100-150K, the odds are good
this book will be passed down to future
generation Stones’ fans this Christmas; from
Father to son, and Mother’s little helper too

I am sure you lucky people can’t wait for that. You probably have a list of questions to ask the man yet you’ll probably stutter and stammer in front of greatness as he signs your very copy of “Life”

You will be so nervous you will spoil it all
by throwing-up all over him
and you’ll wipe the floor with it like the
lyric goes ‘Infamy. ” Someone will say,
“Hey, pleased to meet you hope you guess my name.”
Waiting in line with Mr. Jimmy offering up a sweaty
handshake and your nervous twitch exposed,
but don’t take it so hard.

You’ll make a fool of yourself not knowing what to say.
You will be only a kissa- away from Keith Richards.
I’m sure you’ll be blinded by sugar plum pixies
laced rainbows but Keef will be blinded with flashbulbs
from your cell phone. Fortunately for Keef
I wont be there thus one of you will have to ask
him the lyrics for “did you see her arse,
have you seen her arse?
Something about her arse” blah-blah-blah”

We could see
Keef hit the telly talk shows with maybe
a few interviews late night
Conan, Fallen, etc. Keef could talk of anecdotes
not in the book and we’ll be
Riffing through the book before the commercial
monster finishes
Spewing how white your shirts should be.
And that’s cool, always good to see Keith.
He does have a sense a humor anyways.
I’m sure he’ll do just fine.

Rolling Stone Mag,
April 15th 1971 Prodigal Sons Tour Mother Country

excerpt

“Boogie, Bobby, boogie” Marshall Chess
is saying over and over to Bobby Keys
in the seat nest to him . Slamming
out the phrases and laughing as they
talk about old times .
Boo-gey, Boo-gey” Anita Richards ,
is sing-songing in the back of the
plane , making the words sound line
an errant German nickname for
a Humphrey Bogart Boogie,
a small brown and white puppy dog,
is about to fall asleep
in the arms of Anita’s Husband, Keith.

The doors of the midnight flight from Glasgow
to London are about to close. Conversations buzz and hum.
Only the tops of heads and the oustside elbows are visiable.
What could be nicer? Flying home from Glasgow
in the midnight hour after
Two good shows before packed houses
of people from out of 1957 (brass blondes
ladies screaming and clutching at their heads
whenever Mick showed his ass to the audience

Contentment positively flows from seat to seat.
The engines are about to rev, It’s five, four,
three, two, minutes to take off .When down the
aisle comes a blue –jacket airline official,
all the way to the back seat where Keith and
his dog recline. And the official says:
“That dog Flies by prior arrangement only sir,
you’ll have to get off the plane .”

Keith “what?”
“I’m sorry sit I warned you in the airport.
How you manage to slip by me on the plane
I don’t know but you’ll have to get off Now!”
“Look I’ve flown BEA, TWA Pan-Am” Keith Richards,
singer, composer, lead guitar player, Rolling Stones'
is reciting a list of every airline her ever been on.
“To San Francisco, to places you or this airline
have never been…” “You have to supply a box, sir”
“I happen to know that section of the Geneva Convention
very well: you have to supply the box .
This is ridiculous. It’s an emergency."

My wife and family are here, we have to get home
to take my child to the doctor tomorrow.”
“I’m sorry sir”
“We just want to get home .
Is it that important? Just let us leave”
“The rules, sir.”
“ I know the rules. Get this plane going ,
we’re not moving.”
Exit the official Re-enters the
offical with two large blue Scotish policmen..
“ Ere wot’s the law doin’ ere? Come to arrest us all.
Have you?”
"Oy, you you, oy” A big Scottish cop is doing
his best to ignore Mick, who is lying flat on his backbone
in a seat, naked to waist save for
a blue nylon windbreaker someone has thrown over him
after he gave away his sweaty T-shirt on stage.
“Oy. Oy” Mick says Loudly , a saucey shoolboy trying to ge
the police to notice.
He reaches out to jangle at the cop’s sleeve. “Now,
now chummy,” the cop says. Leaning over.
“ No ones’s done nothing’ yet, why should
we arrest anyone?”
“He’s come to arrest the dog” Keith says.

Another keithstory ( i remember reading this back in the day)

"Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards has
confessed that he is “not a huge fan” of David Bowie.
Speaking in this month’s Uncut magazine,
Richards said that ‘Changes’, which appears
on Bowie’s fourth album ‘Hunky Dory’, was
the only song by the artist that he could “remember”.
"It's all pose. It's all @#$%& posing.
It's nothing to do with music He knows it too,”
Richards said.
“I can't think of anything else he's
done that would make my hair stand up."

Keith Richards set fire to Playboy mansion Keith Richards
has told how he once set fire to the Playboy mansion.
The Rolling Stones rocker said he was high
on drugs when he and saxophonist Bobby Keys
almost burned the Chicago building down...

excerpt from the book

Some of my most outrageous nights I can only
believe actually happened because of corroborating
evidence. No wonder I’m famous for partying!
The ultimate party, if it’s any good, you can’t
remember it. You get these brief vignettes of
what you did. “Oh, you don’t remember shooting
the gun? Pull up the carpet, look at those holes, man.”
I feel a bit of shame and embarrassment.
“You can’t remember that? When you got your dick out,
swinging from the chandelier, anybody up for grabs,
wrap it in a five-pound note?”
Nope, don’t remember a thing about it.

From the Alan Messer interview.

Alan Messer
{Tour staffer asks Keith about his motivation
when he writes songs...}

KR: I look for ambiguity when I'm writing because
life is ambiguous. I have no idea what the audience
makes of me. Sometimes I don't know whether
I'm going under their heads or over their heads.
Writing songs is a peculiar practice anyway.
I never feel I write them, I'm just an antenna
and the songs ae already zooming through the room,
and I hope to pick up something.
I sit with a guitar or at the piano and
play my favorite Buddy Holly or
Otis Redding songs and, with a bit of luck,
something suddenly happens and you're off
on your own track.
Maybe it's because I never deliberately
sit down to write songs that it still happens.
I've written more lately than ever before.
I recieve and transmit-it's that simple.
If I actually believe I created
something, I'd be in big @#$%& trouble.
There's no godhead ego, I don't believe
in the grand bold type "WRITTEN BY KEITH RICHARDS."
I just pick up the songs and pass them on.
They aren't mine, they're everybody's. To me,
the best songs are the ones that come to you in dreams.
I wake up, put it down on a cassette next
to the bed, turn over and go back to sleep.
I wrote "Satisfaction" that way.

Anita: Long time ago. I went to their concert.
But the band had to stop playing because the crowd went wild.
Mick was afraid he could be raped, because
the girls were out of control.
I went back-stage - I wanted to meet
them - and I offered them a joint to relax..
The poor little Stones were afraid.
You could see them exchanging looks like,
Who IS this weird bird? Mick, especially,
was very hostile.
But he could never make me feel uncomfortable.
Even today, I can squash him with just one word.
But he was the one most against my seeing
Brian and being around the Stones.
Mick resents being told anything by a woman.
But if anybody could tell him something
it was me .
Stew said once “She'd make suggestions in
the studio that would be half serious and half
funny but they were good suggestions.
You could see the hairs on the back
of Mick's neck just Rrise.”

Good evening hope you're feeling well.

Sherman: How does it work Mr. Peabody?
Mr. Peabody: This is the amplifier, which amplifies the sound.
And this is the preamplifier, which, of course, amplifies the pree.
Sherman: You’re a genius!
Mr. Peabody : "just and average genius.
Sherman. Please set the way back machine for Dec 1969
Sherman: The Moon walk?!
Mr. Peabody : No dear boy that was July of ‘69
Sherman: Woodstock?!
Mr Peabody: not quite I smell foul play, Sherman
According to Sam Cutler’s book “ Every single
person who had originally told the RS to come
to San Francisco and play a free concert had deserted them.
Where were the people? Who only four days before
the event had been so keen to talk to the television
camera and the reporters?
Where were the people who had confidently
said that a free concert by the Stones was possible
and who had actively encourages thousands of
fans to descent on a totally inappropriate site?
Some of the same people who had organized
the era defining Woodstock festival had taken
a lead role in organizing Altamont.
Where were they when the going got tough?
