Godspeed Keith Richards!

There isn't another 62-year-old in the world who could make the news for falling out of a palm tree and sustaining a a concussion on the Isle of Fiji. Despite his charisma and innovation for co-authoring our favorite songs and 5-string-open-G riffs that form the backbone of Rock and Roll, many of us are amazed that he lived this long. We certainly would not have expected Keith to outlive John Entwistle or George Harrison! Click Here for the news story of the latest adventure of the man who's sentence for getting caught with heroin and the Prime Minister's wife in 1977 was a Toronto concert for the blind. (ironically and fortuitously causing the only on-air rendition of Star Star). Who else would go into Yoga's tree pose without interupting his playing (take note Ron Wood) of the outro riff from Can't you hear me knocking or employ history's most famous Gardner, Jumpin Jack Flash?
