Interesting little factoid:

During a Rolling Stones concert in Sacramento in 1965, Keith Richards grew annoyed with his microphone and smashed it with the neck of his guitar. Bad idea... An enormous jolt of electricity sent Richards flying backward through the air. He landed on his back, where he remained unconscious for several minutes. Finally, he sat up and the show went on, with Richards adjusting his microphone with tender loving care. [Richards later attributed his survival to the thick soles of his Hush Puppies boots.]

BTW, after he hit the dirt, did the stars circle around his head clockwise or counterclockwise?

Does Keith dye his hair? His body hair isn't gray either.

I still say that in a strange twist of karma, Richards will outlive all those 1960s era rockstars. Long after the last one is planted in the ground, the world will still have Keith Richards, 112 years old, battered Telecaster slung from his bony shoulders, Marlboro Red dangled from his gray lips and a tall glass of Jim Beam perched on top of his amplifier.

...Though it would be funny if he happened to meet his Maker falling from a tree...

Keith: Hey buddy.

Jerry: Hey.

Keith: Hey, you should come over. Tonight's pipe night.

Jerry: What? What happened to your face? It looks like an old catcher's mitt.

Keith: What?

Keith: My face is all craggly, it's crinkly.

Jerry: It's from all that smoke. You've experienced a lifetime of smoking in 72 hours. What did you expect?

Keith: Emphysema, birth defects, cancer. But not this. Jerry, my face is my livelihood. Everything I have I owe to this face.

Jerry: And your teeth, your teeth are all brown.

Keith: Look away, I'm hideous.
