That would be my latest read, "Life," by Keith Richards of the Stones. I would never believed it. Guy is an artist, an engaging raconteur, a writer, civilized, uncouth, a gentleman and a pirate. In other words, everything I aspire to be. I was always a Beatles boy, never...

From my book Not Fade Away (Pierian Press, 1984)
MICK JAGGER AND KEITH RICHARDS

Yay!! Keith Richards is 712 years old TODAY!! Happy, happy. Joy, joy. (No, actually I think he might be closer to 68, today, but who's counting???)

Well, sadly, Monday night I finished Keith's book at last. Wow. Did I love that escape for 550 pages or so.
Then, yesterday, I moved on to finally reading that last interview with John Lennon that came out in Rolling Stone this month. It has been sitting in my living room since it arrived in the...

A friend from Tennessee told me I should interview Audrey Braun. I had never heard of her though her name sounded vaguely familiar. A week later her book, A SMALL FORTUNE, and a stack of European tabloids (L’Espresso, Bild, Paris Match, and the Daily Mirror) showed up in a box at my door. I...
