Stanley can't keep from self-aggrandisement, even in his own wife's obituary.
I wonder if this was the same woman referenced in his book on the Stones.

I was trying to find out what Mr. Booth has been up to and if he had any work about to be published, thats how I found this post the link is to.
it was written around the time Keith's 'Life' was published.
then subsequently, his wife, Ms. Blakely passed away. they had been living in St Simons, Georgia, but now it seems Mr. Booth has moved, to Memphis I think.
I really think his has been some of the best writing about jazz and blues music in general, and the Rolling Stones in particular.

This doesn't appear to be her obituary. Plus I don't see any self-aggrandizing, other than that he mentions Keith. Am I missing something?

I've just read some of her poetry - if I had to choose between reading more and listening to say Dirty Work I'd definitely go with the former. Forgive me if that sounds crass...
I bet she was a heavy smoker - her addiction to tobacco comes across in some of her poems.

Yes, you're right.
He references himself frequently and unnecessarily, just as he did in his book about the Stones.
