Keith Richards should have died in 1996.

Isn't "Keith Richards" a synonym for "brain damage"?

This guy's damn near indestructible. If he hasn't killed himself with forty years of excess, falling out of a tree and landing on his dome should be cake.

Whoa, dude!

That's one gnarly digit.

Pretty funky finger, IMO.

"I think he already had brain damage. Look at that photo.. He's wearing two hats and two jackets."

What's that old adage...

The only living things that will survive a nuclear holocaust are:

1.Cockroaches

2. Keith Richards

In other words, I wouldn't worry about a piddly little head injury.

Along with lead singer Mick Jagger, Richards has been the backbone of the Rolling Stones since the 1960s.

I love the 'stones. Me thinks they should've beein in the Rock'n Roller's Hall of Fame instead the Beatles.
From the picture Keith looks like he has a growing problem whith arthritis more so than everything else.

I wish him well!!

Keith Richards could suffer brain damage

How would they make that diagnosis?

"In 1990, one of his fingers got infected after he punctured it on a guitar string. In both cases, the Stones were forced to postpone concerts."

Well, I can relate to the posts about brain damage, I have been around long enough to know some of the Stones' songs.

But, would it not be ironic if that finger, playing that awesome guitar, was his demise?

He must be nuts to be in his 60s and in a tree -- but that has nothing to do with the fact the Stones produced some GREAT music. (UH OH, showing my age).

Sure enough folks on here ready, willing and able to take a cheap shot at one of the greatest rock and roll guitarists of all time.

When any of us falls out of a tree, we'll be lucky if anyone notices.

One of the most amazing and understated things he did was put together the "Hail, Hail Rock and Roll" project - the concert/documentary honoring Chuck Berry.

An excellent movie, a must see for anyone who has ever enjoyed a Chuck Berry song.

"Goes on vacation and falls out of a tree."

Did another 60+ YO chase him up that tree? When I'm that age I will be flying UltraLight aircraft. It's much more peaceful up there than up a stupid tree. I got my specialty aircraft licence at 50. You can't be stoned, drunk and stupid to get in one in the first place either. The same FAA rules apply. It's a pleasure watching big dirty seagulls check you out and fly away at 750 feet. Above Camarillo and Port Hueneme.

One story I read said it wasn't certain that he fell out of a tree (after drinking vodka and rum with Woody.) There was another version of the accident. (I can't find it now. Anyone?)

Yeah, me neither. You and I simply have different demons to deal with than they do.
