Not everything stays in Vegas
LAS VEGAS, Nov. 20 (UPI) -- Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards has a new stage prop thanks to a Las Vegas fan of the veteran British rock band.
Richards spotted Larry Pfeifer's black beaded belt backstage prior to Friday night's Stones concert at the MGM Grand and offered to buy it on the spot, the Los Vegas Review-Journal reported Sunday.
Pfeifer, however, refused to part with his "lucky belt" and told Richards if he would guarantee his re-entry to the concert, he'd go find him a similar one at the Hard Rock Hotel's gift store, the newspaper said.
Richards gave him a $100 bill, then made an odd request, Pfeifer said. The notoriously skinny axman said he wanted the longest belt he could find.
The fan made the mad dash and returned with the belt before curtain time, only to see Richards pull out a knife and start slicing his new acquisition.
It all made sense a little while later, however. When the Stones opened the concert with "Jumpin' Jack Flash," there was Richards and his new belt-turned-guitar strap.

I tried to make a strap out of a belt but it was too short. |

Brilliant! Just brilliant! You could be Bob Hope's writer.
If Bob Hope was alive.
Looking at the pix, is his new belt strap the one he uses with his black 335?
P.S. Er, is it a 335?
