[the Guardian- don't they just capture his brilliance?]when I first read excerpts from Keith Richards book
aptly titled 'Biography' (well done, Keiff),
I thought it was to be classed under:
EXPERIMENTAL CHEMISTRY AND THE HUMAN BODY
but, actually it's a political treatise of some import (usually in a baggie).
For that reason, the SOAS Political Circle
invited Keith to discuss Politics.
For those who don't know, SOAS is a London university
the School of Oriental and African Studies.
new text-speak motto: SO.AS.2.B.EDUCATED
They chose Keith because part of his politics
touches upon Iraq, which is middle-Oriental.
and also because Keith has spent most of his life
completely dis-Oriented.
This human bone-rack is actually a complex man.
While he professes to
fighting authority,
playing with weapons,
hanging out with criminals (e.g. Hell's Angels at Altamont)
as a counter-culture icon,
he's got about a C-Note in the bank:
100 million, that is.
Also, he became involved in the Iraq war debate,
having been in close contact with Tony Blair.
Keith sent a well-presented thesis to Def Tony
saying " Keep on Rockin' " (see Prospect mag),
which could be interpreted as being supportive of the war effort.
I'm most impressed with his stooping to embrace the
plebian linguistic form with the 'G' at the end of
'rocking' replaced with the heart-felt apostrophe.
Oh, the gravitas!
Apparently, this message was so taken to heart by the
Blair-meister that the letter is a prized possession of his
(ask Alistair Campbell, his aide for this tid-bit).

-by the way, Ali is now a Politics lecturer in London, so, 'much RE-SPEC', mate.

other key notes:
I think he could put in a good word for Keith, and get him a spot
on the roster at Rockin' U.

KR's succinctness on the Playboy mansion:
"basically, it's a whorehouse"
-I had no such idea!
He was so bored with the cheesecake that he
& Bobby Keys were playing with drugs
and set a bathroom on fire, literally.
They also didn't notice the Bunny in the bathtub.
[HAaahhhaAHAahahah- you expecting a Playboy Bunny?]
Staff had to break down the door and disrupt what Keith called
"a private affair". The secret's out Keith;
you'd even sample the pure stuff on the Periodic table.
