this is an interesting story.

It might explain why Keith was playing on during this song while Mick has to get him to stop. Also explains why the hells angels dude looks at Mick with such disdain a little before the 4 minute mark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqK-J9S2GXs

one of the gossip sites says one of the issues with his hand is due an incident over a drug deal and not arthritis. Don't know which finger

he was knocked across the stage due to electrocution but survived because he was wearing Hush Puppies

This story cracks me up.

Could be, but it really looks like arthritis

so I tried to look up the story about when Keith had a gun put in his side to see what song. Can’t tell but supposedly the dude that was killed happened during Under My Thumb

I met Sonny a few years back. Nice guy. Didn’t seem like “an uncompromising thug whose contempt for the law was matched only by his capacity for brutality.” I guess age tends to mellow stuff like that.

this quote is funny:

‘I could no longer picture the Hells Angels playing the part of bodyguards for a bunch of sissy, marble-mouthed prima donnas.’

Not a fan of biker thug gangs. Of any kind.

If one is damaged due to an accident, it is virtually indistinguishable from rheumatoid arthritis. Looks bad..

I suspect Barger could be tough and brutal. I mean he was head of the Hell’s Angels. It was stupid to hire a biker gang for security at a rock concert. Anyway it’s ancient history now and the Stones are still playing.

Barre on an open tuning, maybe?

I’m not either. Wouldn’t run with any of them. But I’ll tell you what: after the Antifa riots started up in 2020, I saw some Pagans ride into my town in Maryland one day, and I literally felt safer.

Absolutely age mellows people out.
You can’t be the leader of the Hell’s Angels and be known as a nice guy. Especially after that concert. What a cluster ____.
