True story.A friend of mine is a local rock journalist who also hosts a Sunday night show on my radio station in Jersey. It just so happens his name is Keith and he is a big Stones fan. As a guitar player he is big Keith Richards fan.
Well,one of his mates is a studio tech/sound engineer. This guy has worked with Richards on many unrealesed projects in NYC as well as at Keith's residence in Conneticut. He has even helped with mixing some Xpensive Wino's material.
So,I'm having some Guinnesses with my friend Keith(not Richards)and his buddy Tom,the soundman. I was quite interested in hearing some of his Keith stories. So I asked him all about his experiences. He said that Keef is one of the most approchable guys he has ever met and is a real genuine guy. "Keith is never far from a bottle of Absolute. As well as a two liter bottle Sunkist Orange. He also quite the connisuer(sp?) of good ganga." Well,that did not strike me as odd as I've heard all about his love of vodka and orange drink. Ofcourse,it's no secret that Keef likes his weed. Then he told me about a visit to Keith's house in Conneticut. "I went there to listen to some stuff he had laid down some while ago. He sent a car to pick me up in Manhattan."
Anyway,cutting to the chase. Tom proceeds to tell a story about how Keith,a driver and himself go into town to pick up some ciggies and more vodka. The driver pulled up to a gas station at Keith's request. Seems he had to have a piss. No,he did not relive the infamous pissing incident! Tom said that he and the driver waited in the car for ten minutes,fifteen minutes,then twenty minutes. They waited a long time. Finally Tom offered to go look for Keith. He walked into the station. No Keith. He walked around to the restrooms. No Keith. He then walked into the garage. There to his suprise was the mechanic and Keith under a car working on someone's fuel pump! It seems that Keith fancies himself quite the expert on auto repair! He also has no sense of time. He did not relize that he had kept Tom and the driver waiting for the better part of a half hour. Keith then got up and went to scrub his hands with some GoJo. That's a garage soap. He then asked the mechanic if he'd like to join them at his house for some cocktails! The mechanic declined but said he'd take a rain check.
Tom,Keith,and the driver then went to the store and got the smokes and vodka. Keith obliged the cashier and some fans with autographes and pictures. Then they went back and listened to some of the tracks that Keith wanted Tom to hear.
Just when I thought this story was pure horseshit Tom produced a picture of himself,Keith,and the mechanic standing next to the car that Keith helped fix! Keith was smeared with grease on his face and hands. He looked none the worse for wear with fishing lures dangling from his hair!
Cool story huh?

Not sure what you consider good but I will give it a shot. During the 1990 California gubernatorial election I scored a job doing telephone surveys for the Republican party. Call people up and ask them who they are voting for.
The place wasn't monitored all that well so I was also able to use the phone to make personal long distance calls and I also somehow hacked into someone's voice mail and was able to change the greeting.
At some point Pete Wilson made a highly publicized visit to call some potential voters. There was a lot of press. The boss came in and told us "If anybody asks you guys are volunteers." I found that really funny because we were all lowlife cretins, and looked the part. I think most of us were recruited from the local continuation school. |

Love this story. It shows how real and down to earth Keef really is. But who would give up the once in a lifetime chance to hang with Keith Richards? |

This is the day
Of the expanding man ;
That shape is my shade
There where I used to stand .
It seems like only yesterday
I gazed through the glass ;
At ramblers ..............
Wild gamblers .................
That's all in the past for Joshy !
You call me a fool
You say it's a crazy scheme ;
This one's for real
I already bought the dream .
So useless to ask me why
Throw a kiss and say goodbye ;
I'll make it this time
I'm ready to cross that fine line .
I'll learn to work the saxophone
I'll play just what I feel ;
Drink Heinekens all night long
And die behind the wheel .
They got a name for the winners in the world
I want a name when I lose ;
They call Miami the Hurricanes
Call me Stoney Blues .
-- Thank You

If Keith is so cool, why can't he fix his hair problem with either transplants or invisible hairpiece? |

Probably the same reason most men don't answer penis enlargement ads in thier email. Vanity is NOT an option. |

And another thing...Keith is happy and confident by simply being HIMSELF. He's got nothing to prove to anyone. |
