Goodbye, Great Britain

“That dog flies by prior arrangement only, sir, you’ll have to get off the plane.”

“What?”

“I’m sorry sir, I warned you in the airport. How you managed to slip by me on to the plane I don’t know but you’ll have to get off now.”

-classic Keef

"The tour is over and it may be a while before there’s another.
Rock’n’roll is a young man’s game." -

Robert Greenfield
1971!

And it's been in one of my favourite Stones books:
D. Dalton's 'An Unauthorized Bio in Words, Photos and Music' from 72.

“He’s come to arrest the dog,” Keith says.


LOOOOOOLLLLL!!!!! LMAO!!!! too fuuny!@!@@!!

my only question is why the hell Keith is taking a dog to a show he is playing ;)

Not that I would question keith or want to be ""surrounded by little kids, slinky ladies, rock stars, Mick"" discussing Keiths dog.

This story is too funny!!!

"" A hurried conference at the front of the plane. Stewardesses and captains, cops and officials, the flight is 15 minutes late already because of one small dog and 20 crazies.

“We’ll link arms.”

“Arrest us,” Mick demands.""

Awesome read, thank you for posting.

Imo Greenfield's paper doesn't convey any energy or enthusiasm.

When I read this article I hear a funeral march playing in my head not some 1971 live tape...

"Anita Richard".. Never heard her being called that before!
