The bad news... 40 years ago Richards looked like he was 80... The good news... Today he still looks like he’s 80.

Rock on, Keith.

His autobiography, “Life” is one of the best ones I’ve read.

Shattered.

Given today in NYC, it’s still relevant.

A lot of critics list ‘Gimme Shelter’ as the best Stones song. There are a ton of good songs, I would go with ‘Rocks Off’, at least on a lot of days it’s my favorite.

Yeah, picking a favorite with these guys is hard. My parents had the English single of ‘Play with Fire’- when I was a kid... for a long time that is all I knew of the Stones - so that is my sentimental favorite. I love ‘Paint it Black’ for it’s innovative touches... including of course that sitar..

Prime has a good documentary on Keith also. He makes no bones that he prefers traditional blues music now to what he thinks of as the Stone’s ‘Rock/pop...’

Lots of great ones but Monkey Man and their cover of It’s All Over Now are two of my favs.

Getting married to a keeper at 40 probably explains his mysterious longevity.

That is a good one. He can sure play the piano too.

I have an off-brand telecaster that I keep in open g with 5 strings for when I feel Keefish.
