Keith, Redux

I swear, I cannot get enough of this man. He is so beautiful inside and out. I know a lot of you are probably thinking, "God, when is she going to get off this Keith Richards kick?" Well, never, but I promise I'll not post anything about him for a very long time after this. Maybe post something on his birthday or when his autobiography comes out in 2010. Like George Michael, he got a really huge advance after showing the publishing company a 10-page rough draft -- something like $7 million. Wow. Problem is, there are already some 8 or 9 books written about him (which I have read) so I'm wondering how much of his book is actually going to be a revelation? I already know about his drug habit (which has been covered ad infinitum) and his lovers and his children and his relationship with Mick Jagger both professionally and socially and his childhood (very close to his mother, an only child, etc.) and his run-ins with the law and his influences and his side projects and solo albums and his favorite foods (Shepard's Pie and anything with HP sauce on it) and his favorite books to read and so on. But, of course, I'm still going to pre-order it.
