He’s not really alive. He’s a tribute to advances in animatronics.

He never was what one would call, *a handsome man* Claims he had Hep C and cured himself.

He’s like an old beat up Ford F-150. You’ve rolled over the odometer, driven too fast over bumpy unpaved roads, hauled trailers, livestock, and more, gone way too long between oil changes and tune ups, haven’t washed it in years, and yet it still cranks every day. Sometimes you’re a lemon, and sometimes you’re Keef.

What proof is there that he is still alive?

I thought so. I’ve always thought so. There are times lately, however, when I see him the first thought that pops into my head is that he’d probably scare the children (and I mean that in the kindest way possible). I hope that doesn’t make me a bigot.

"Don’t judge a book by its cover. Keith does look like someone who chose not to use Michael Jackson’s plastic surgeon(just the drug doctor)."

In excerpts in Rolling Stone, Keef comments on his surprise that he was always surprised that the US was the only country that gunfire never brought security or the police. Those were the good old days. I'd add that back when he was using. He only used the best.

I just got home from the hospital on Monday. Had my second surgery to reverse the colostomy I’d had in July. They gave me a prescription for Oxycodone after the first surgery, and I think I used 3 or 4 of them, if that. Couldn’t stand the way they made me feel and put them away. When I got home on Monday, I got the bottle out, took one then and another on Tuesday morning, and again wasn’t happy with the way they made me feel. Tossed the last of that bottle in the garbage along with the new prescription they’d sent home with me this time.

I guess “hope I die before I get old” doesn’t apply to *this* Keith.

Ozzy is about a step away from what’s called a ‘’wet brain’’. That’s someone who’s brain has literally been turned spongy from alcohol. I’m sure Ozzy wears a diaper. Being a ‘’wet brain’’ or close to it as he is you sometime lose control of your bowels. If Ozzy were to start drinking again like he did to get where he is he’d been a drooling idiot or dead in very short order.

Ah! That 'splains it then. I didn't read the New Yorker article very closely.

I wish him well, he must have good genes though.

What else can you say about Keith Richards other than that he has some great genes. How else do you think Fidel Castro is still going after decades of cigars, sex, and Marxism?

I read an article in RS where he was asked, Keef, you never had a real job, what if the stones hadn’t worked out? He replied, it wouldn’t have mattered. If he ended up a plumber or bricklayer, he still would have lived for playing in the basement or in the pub for his mates. Truly lives for rock n roll.

Did you see that interview on the site?? Every single finger of his is bent and arthritic-looking.

He says that not only was he constantly on heroin and cocaine, but he slept only twice a week. What a mess.

(But he really came up with great guitar riffs.)
