Is that what makes the difference, Dandie, that we seem like reading different books...

I sign all my books but that I guess that does not count, nor make the contents any better..

"Life" is a great book.

In "Life", Freddie Sessler is treated like a loved comrade-in-arms, while Bill Wyman, Brian Jones, and Mick Taylor are basically afterthoughts. Seems strange.

Well, he has a few tongue in cheek-comments about Bill in there If you don't get easily provoked, there is some love between the lines when it comes to how Bill is portrayed.

True...I don't think he disparages Wyman in the book.

I completely agree, there does seem to be an element of affection towards Bill. Keef doesn't talk about Bill often from what I've seen in interviews but when he has done so he does make fun but also acknowledges that Wyman could swing.

Maybe this should go in the Gus and Me thread, but so much of the conversation on this thread has been about what people think is wrong with LIFE, and this excerpt is a perfect example of what is so right about the book. Posted on Keith's facebook page as a promotion for his soon to be released children's book. Link at the bottom has the excerpt.

This photo is so adorable because you can actually see the 70-year-old Keith in it (and thus, presumably, Gus). I've seen recent pics of him in exactly the same pose (not that I can find them now, of course ).

So true! I would not have thought of that [re: the same post and seeing the 70-year-old KR in it]
but now that you point it out!

I guess this was the start...it was all from the heart...later came the head and balls.

It Means A Lot to them...

What we have here is a textbook example of the slow, painful death of a thread. It's always better to end on a high note.

We love you Keith!
