Rolling with it, Keith Richards is chilling in the garden

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?”

Maybe when used properly heroin grants eternal life.

Years ago just before I moved to Tx, Mick married a local gal Jerry Halle and they built a spread out in Lone Oak Tx, pop NOTHING.

Mick would come into my little town to grocery shop.

Mick was not made for TX, Kieth would have fit in at the local VFW.

Hell, I hope I’m still able to shred on my old Stratocaster when I’m his age...

At 85, I’ll still be blasting out “Highway To Hell”...or better yet... “Ina Gadda Da Vida”...

“I can’t say I feel like a year has been stolen. I’ll just make up for it later.”

Easy to say when you’re an alien with a 5,000 year lifespan.

Upon further examination, I think your post was meant for RWNJ69.

I don’t care if he has an iPhone or not.

Instead, just look at that Telecaster he’s holding. Wow ... what a beauty!

That was new tech back in his day and he did okay with it .... and ... he is still having fun with it today!

Clearly, playing a Tele is a better kind of brain damage than playing with a cell phone.

My fav. Keef saying is; 'No one likes to grow old. But nobody wants to die young either.'

His autobiography is worth a read.
