I saw Ron Wood when he was still with Faces... (actually he was on his last tour with Faces and had just recorded ‘Black and Blue’ with the Stones - 1974). He was a great choice to replace Mick Taylor... Taylor (in my opinion the Stone’s greatest guitarist) didn’t look like a Stone... he looked like the nice kid next door. Ron Wood looked the part.
While the Stones certainly rock, I think their ballads are WAY underrated.
Ballads: Wild Horses, Memory Motel, As Tears Go By
Rockers: Can’t You Hear Me Knockin’, Brown Sugar, Gimme Shelter, Little Queenie live
“He makes no bones that he prefers traditional blues music now to what he thinks of as the Stone’s ‘Rock/pop...’”
They won the Grammy for best blues album in 2016.

What is even more amazing is it the first and only marriage for both of them – 40 years. Although Keith was “partners” with Anita Pallenberg from 1967 to 1980 resulting in 3 children, one of whom died at 10 weeks old from SIDS.
And now my favorite Keith Richards line.
Back in 2002 Mick Jagger was knighted. Richards was not impressed. “Mick should have held out for a lordship.”
heh.. I had to look this up as I was curious why both weren’t knighted. Apparently Richards refused the honor.
Keith on Elton John:
“An old bitch… his writing is limited to songs about dead blondes.”
Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary!
Soul Survivor. Last song on Exile on Main Street.
“An old bitch… his writing is limited to songs about dead blondes.”
LOL!
He’s looked dead for years but still rocking!
It’s All Over Now
Have you seen Richards’ knuckles lately? How he can still play amazes me.
Yeah I heard he’s got bad arthritis.
Dylan had to quit playing guitar in his live performances due to arthritis.. he just does vocals and tinkles on the piano now. Richards is lucky to still be able to play at a competent level.
Mine as well.
Sitting on a Fence
Dead Flowers
Moonlight Mile
Sweet Virginia, which never could get air
play. ( something about scraping something off your shoes).

My favorite Stones song always has been Lady Jane.
