He wrote Avalanche (one of Nick Cave's favorite songs, I think) He's a monk. (Right?) He told Robert Altman that he didn't like one of 'em movies. He had poetry books of him published. He sang The Partisan.

Not only Mr Cohen is cooler than me, so is everyone else in the picture, in fact, I'd like to think I would'nt freak-out if I every got to be even Meet one of them. Keith in a Limo slowly , with the famous Skull ringed finger out the nearly closed window, passed me after a Stones concert and he point at me, just pointed at me, acknowledging my appreciation, After I yelled Thank You, great show, to him and I've really never been the same, in a way. One of the reasons I'm a Keith fan!
He actually acknowledge me a fan! Are you fucking serious?

Keith Richards is Mr Rock and Roll Period. I said it
now let the beatings begin.
He's the cool one!
No disrespect for Sir Mick.........
Bill and/or
Of Course Charlie..............Whom I have all the respect for, and deserving a person I've never met can earn!

Cool pics, that looks like Boston Harbour in the header pic, so I guess these were taken before/after the Boston library gig. Any info on that? Also, KEEF needs a hat! All the older dudes look good wearing hats, and I guess KEEF ditched the bandana/hair dangling look for a simpler, more distingushed look. Paul Simon could use a hat too!

Plenty of gaps there for more shows. I'd imagine the Dutch shows will be just after Ghent and the UK dates just after Dublin.
