Strand Notes
Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards puts down a rock memoir for the ages. The book is ultimately two stories: one of music, misbehavior, and survival; the other a fond, perplexed, sometimes outraged telling of Keith Richards’ life with Mick Jagger, including their battles over control and the destiny of their band. By turns earnest and wicked, sweet and sarcastic and unsparing, the guitarist writes with uncommon candor and immediacy. A life of license and genius merge to present a portrait of a very singular character upon the stage of rock life, Richards cast no doubt about it: it’s a jumpin’ jack flash every which way you burn it. This is one way to the good life. All that music pouring forth? Hey, who else could be so damn lucky! Index. Illus., color photos. 564p.
Description
The long-awaited autobiography of Keith Richards, guitarist, songwriter, singer, and founding member of the Rolling Stones. With The Rolling Stones, Keith Richards created the songs that roused the world, and he lived the original rock and roll life. Now, at last, the man himself tells his story of life in the crossfire hurricane. Listening obsessively to Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters records, learning guitar and forming a band with Mick Jagger and Brian Jones. The Rolling Stones's first fame and the notorious drug busts that led to his enduring image as an outlaw folk hero. Creating immortal riffs like the ones in "Jumping Jack Flash" and "Honky Tonk Women." His relationship with Anita Pallenberg and the death of Brian Jones. Tax exile in France, wildfire tours of the U.S., isolation and addiction. Falling in love with Patti Hansen. Estrangement from Jagger and subsequent reconciliation. Marriage, family, solo albums and Xpensive Winos, and the road that goes on forever. With his trademark disarming honesty, Keith Richard brings us the story of a life we have all longed to know more of, unfettered, fearless, and true.
