I thought that I would make my first entry a new book that I am in the middle of reading now. Keith's life of excess may not be for you, but it makes for fascinating reading. From living in squalor and studying the blues with Mick Jagger and Brian Jones, to the famous Exile on Main Street sessions, to his recent role in Pirates of the Caribbean 3 with Johnny Depp, it is all here. Keef seems to remember things quite well in spite of his extended affair with illicit substances. A favorite anecdote of mine is Keith turning Jimi Hendrix on to the tune "Hey Joe" via a mutual female acquaintance. Personally, I will never forget shouting "Keith" in the nosebleed seats of the Vet during a driving-freezing rain while the Stones were on their the Steel Wheels tour. I know it's only rock and roll, but I like it.
