When we first heard The Beatles, we were relieved that there was some other band in England on the same track that we were...

The 1960s ideal of love and peace died at Altamont, the free festival conceived by the Rolling Stones as California’s answer to Woodstock, in 1969. But
the man who was more responsible than any other for the destruction of that dream didn’t die himself until yesterday. Sonny Barger, founder member of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club, has always maintained that the blame for the violence and murder at Altamont should be placed at the feet of Mick Jagger and the Stones. But the truth is Barger, dubbed the Maximum Leader, was an uncompromising thug whose contempt for the law was...

Keith Richards has made a career from speaking out of line in what is an unfiltered approach to saying what is on his mind. Even
those who have been kind to him over the years, like Bruce Springsteen, are not immune to criticism. Springsteen is incredibly thankful for the powerful impact The Rolling Stones had on his life, and he holds the group in demigod status. ‘The Boss’ has even openly spoken about his recurring childhood dream about being plucked from the crowd and joining them on stage. Years later, Springsteen successfully made that unthinkable childhood ambition become a reality....

Keith Richards is so old-school that when he does his interviews — he’ll do so from a landline. The
Rolling Stones icon isn’t a fan of technology. Years ago he admitted to not owning an iPod when the device was most popular. He’s one of the few people who hasn’t downloaded Zoom during the pandemic. And he doesn’t even own a cell phone. “I’m not at all hooked in any high-tech internets,” he says. “I don’t even have a (cell) phone, man. I’m talking to you from on a landline. Why would I want a (cell) phone? You crazy?”

The Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" may be regularly ranked among the greatest albums of all time, but it's nowhere near the top of Keith Richards' list. In
an interview with Esquire, the Rolling Stones guitarist dismissed the 1967 classic as "a mishmash of rubbish." "There's not a lot of roots in that music. I think they got carried away. Why not? If you're the Beatles in the '60s, you just get carried away -- you forget what it is you wanted to do," he told Esquire's Scott Raab. "You're starting to do 'Sgt. Pepper.' "Some people think...
