Keith Richards, 1967
This will most definitely be on my Christmas list, not least because, like most people, I never really thought Keith would be around long enough to write an autobiography of a life lived for sixty-odd years. (And even if he was, what on earth would he remember?). I watched the Culture Show Special interview last night which clearly was mostly about plugging the book but, even if it wasn't as probing as it might have been, the programme included some classic Stones clips and news footage. As for the man himself, the bandana, gnarled fingers, kohl rimmed eyes and deepset wrinkles were no surprise, even if a far cry from the 1967 version which could set many a pulse racing. But I can even forgive him his monstrous new gnashers when I listen to this. (Bear with the 20 second or so delay at the start).
