“How is Keith Richards still alive?”
My theories:
1. The Devil takes care of his own.
2. All the dead rock and roll guys who died from like excesses have taken the opportunity to live vicariously through his earthy vessel. *It is reported he has cravings occasionally for ham sandwiches (see: Mama Cass story)
3. He has only been seen at night, and will not allow anyone to enter his home with garlic in any form, leading many to suspect he is really one of the ‘undead’.
4. God is giving him ample time to turn his life around as in reality he’s a good person.
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). He never seems to be in the news for destroying a hotel room at the Plaza or failing a drug test and sent back to the court, he just lives to play music and stay in la la land. Nobody ever called him a role model. Leave him alone and let him keep flying just above reality
5. He's been dead for years, but the Grim Reaper is afraid to get near him.
Also . . . what's it with Richards being suddenly in the news? The New Yorker had a feature article on him this week.
(Yeah, I know. I get the rag for free. And the cartoons are sometimes pretty funny, but lately they've been getting lamer and lamer. Roz Chast is not my idea of a good cartoonist, she can't even draw -- Charles Addams is more like it.)
#5. 90% of what we saw was all show for street cred.
God doesn’t spare us because we’re nice guys. It’s because He’s a nice guy.
