It is said that every cigarette you smoke shortens your life by a day, and adds a day to the life of Keith Richards.

I read Richards book a few years ago, one of the most interesting and entertaining books I have read.

"Paint it Black"

Sunday I saw a billboard advertising a Stones concert coming up. Was wondering if I should get tickets one last time.......

RIP Charlie. Saw them at Anaheim Stadium, CA in ‘78. It was part of their “Some Girls Tour”. Pretty awesome!

If for no other reason than longevity, the Stones are the greatest rock and roll band ever.

Very sad. Worked well with the Stones but seemed happiest playing Jazz.

Saw them a couple of time in the UK and both times the standout songs were 'Honky Tonk Women' and 'Sympathy for the Devil'. Certainly a band who knew how to put on a show.

I just love the story that when Watts got seriously into drugs, Keith Richards took him to one side and said 'you need to ease off the drugs'. When you get that advice from KR it's probably time to take notice lol.
