OT: Happy Birthday Keith Richards

[QDOG5]

I wanted to say Happy 77th Birthday to my avatar Keith Richards. Keith has many hilarious one liners. This is one of my favorites. "Let me be clear about this. I don't have a drug problem. I have a police problem."

Keith Richards gets cockroach named after him for 77th birthday

You can’t always get what you want, but the gift hopefully won’t bug him.

Greatest rock star ever.

Greatest rock star ever.

Has played the rock star longer than anyone. Except maybe Mick.

I'd say several had brighter stars but haven't lasted nearly as long.

Heard he caught covid. His immune system laughed it out of his body.

One of these days we're going to have to start worrying about what kind of world we're going to leave for Keith Richards...

Didn’t he die like 15 years ago??

I heard he eats a huge bowl of it for breakfast.

Hos quote should be "Reality is for those who can't handle drugs"

Stones would get blood transfusions prior to US tours (back in the day) to get the toxins out and to help stay "healthy".. Saw them live in Boulder Colo.. Heart opened for them.. Saw where Mick just picked up a place in Fla to crash at..

The guy appears to be functionally immortal. No death notice will be met with more surprise when it finally comes.

Anecdote from my UConn days. My roommate Junior year was from Washington, CT. Tiny town, but some celebs live there. Also the Gunnery School (Now called Frederick Gunn). Town has one liquor store and my roommate worked there.

The stones hadn’t toured in years and holed up at the school during the summer to practice. My roommate talked about the cases of Jack Daniels he delivered to the band (could have been Beam), obviously for Keith. Further to this story, after we graduated, we got a call from two girls from that dorm that they were going out at Toad’s Place and they asked us to come. Long drive for us, and we lamed out and played darts someplace local. Of my lifetime regrets, that’s near the top. The Rolling Stones showed up unannounced to open their 1989 tour.

His autobiography is amazing

His book is great. He crushed one of his fingers while young and it healed bent. Said after that he could play guitar better.
