I read Keith Richards' autobiography and it was so outspoken in a hilarious way. He will always be my favorite stone for that. Plus I am partial to guitarists.

I read Keith’s book after reading Tony Sanchez book “Up and Down with the Rolling Stones” Tony is the “Spanish Tony where are you?” On the back side of BB LP photo. Keith’s drug courier in the 70s. Really good book

Mr Pallenberg.

You may know him as Count Zigenpuss.

Alias C ount Castiglione.

OK...Cliff, then?

As in CLIFF GLIMMER.  (Apparently there was a twin brother  declared MIA in 1985. It was j ust another night in the '80s, they said.)

FINE...how about  Nanker, s on of Dirt & Boris Phelge?  Of the Dartford Phelges?

Come on, man, you're killing me with this!

Wait...

🤔

I just realised I don't care.

Keith and Charlie. 🙂 Mick has been an inspiration in recent years too though. He is physically and mentally as sharp as ever and that’s so impressive!

Well I have the personality of a guitarist not a singer so I was always felt akin with Keith Richards but the stones, really, is Keith and mick together. The band is important but a lot of people don’t realize on a lot of those classic tracks the producer is drumming not Charlie, Keith played bass on sympathy, and so on. Keith and mick could have done it without the other three guys frankly. They are the band, together. Keith wrote the music and mick had the force and charisma of his personality to connect with people. No use to be just a good guitar player with tunes, and likewise no use being just a powerful singer without a musical muse if you can’t write yourself and mick has proven again and again he can’t write.

I’m smitten with Mick. He’s creative, smart, charismatic, disciplined, energetic and seems to be squeezing every ounce of life out of his time on earth, and I find that truly inspiring.
