Tom Waits on Music...and Keith

excerpt from Keith Richards' book Life, which I just finished. This is a quote of Tom Waits talking about Keith.  What especially struck me was not necessarily the Keith aspect, but being right on about the wonder & mystification that music inspires.

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.

Bashed around with the new sticks I bought yesterday - my first pair of sticks ever.  A bunch of Sabbath and then Wooden Shjips.  More WS later tonight.  First sticks, first drum solo.
