Been a fan since 1967. This interview was 1980 ( he was born in Dec 1943) amazing 43 years after this interview they are still touring and have a new album. I remember back in 1980 when everyone said they re too old and should stop. Throw that back in their faces boys. Rock on to the end.
The heroin in France during the 70s was probably the highest quality on the planet at that time. The French connection is a classic movie. So cool that Keith made it through those dark years. Same for jimmy page
this is by far the most important interview keith richards ever gave, he´s been 100 percent himself and makes wonder how incredible survive so many decades the way he did, but is very, very crucial emphasize it for a limited number of people in the world. The huge majority dies soon if they live this life style.
This was those good years of Richards. Clean from drugs (hard drugs that is) now gaining his responsibilities back within the band that were willingly handed over to Jagger because of the incapabilities of hard drug use daily.
Maybe we have Toronto the boring to thank for the fact that we had a Keith going forward and still have. (I can slap Toronto silly on this one, because I am a long time Torontonian.)
But you know Toronto got really good because of the 350,000 Montrealers that moved there in 1977 after the PQ won in Quebec. A third of my high school in Montreal moved to Oakville and Mississauga they’re parents worked for the Bank of Montreal Sunlife and other companies that moved their head offices down the 401. It seems nuts thinking back to that now. Any Toronto’s a great city. I used to be boring.
The theme from The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, with lyrics "If it takes forever I will wait for you, for a thousand summers I will wait for you." Not exactly Stones material but indeed lovely.
@@lyudmila2882 Thank you!!....I don't suppose you know who is playing this particular version of it?.....it has a quicker tempo than the soundtrack or any of the many cover versions I've found.
He means he was SENTENCED to a year's imprisonment. Following a very influential article in The Times newspaper 'Who breaks a Butterfly on a Stone' there was an appeal and Richards and Jagger were released from custody.
They have to be one of the longest running transient Vegas acts in history. Written one "new song"in nearly half a century and that's a ripoff of The Specials' Ghost Town. Despite the group's fossilization, great admiration still for the larger-than-life Keith though.
