For those of you think Ozzie never really made a good song, this will change your mind ... Great song, not hard rock, deep cutting words, very moving

3,000 years from now a future civilization is going to dig up Kieth Richards body and marvel at our skills at preservation and mummification.

He bit a radioactive bat, which gave him the superpower of longevity.

Why do Google searches of Randi Rhodes come up with that lush from Air America instead of one the greatest 80’s guitarists?

He must share some genetic makeup with Keith Richards, aka, the Crypt Keeper.
