Like all the great things in the world - women, religion and the sky...
oh and just because reading his book put me on a tangent, found this great live clip of Keith's X-pensive Winos from early '93. I saw them on this tour at the Beacon in NYC with my pal Jose - fantastic. The band he had and the two records they did are far and away the best Stones-related anything of the last 30+ years (since Some Girls basically).
Enjoyed the heck out of the Keith book, btw. There were periods he skipped over or gave little detail of, but considering the years -- and extent -- of excess, it's amazing he was able to retrieve as much detail as he did.
Yes, Yes, and, Yes.....to the Waits quote, to the X-pensive Winos (still remember rocking "Too Rude" in your Kirkland dorm room), and to the autobiography. I read it in one trip to India, gave it to Scoobie and we quote from and discuss it constantly!
ReplyDeleteThat vid is smokin'!
ReplyDeleteHere here, on all the above... and yeah, that video is the same kind of thing I was lucky to see at the Beacon. A real gem...
