Yes, he has nasty habits (or at least he did), and he probably does take tea at 3, but I've been totally riveted to Keith Richards' autobiography "Life," which I borrowed in CD form from the Bayard Taylor Library. The Rolling Stones guitarist tells about his boyhood in post-war England, the fledgling days of the band and their many years of international success and wild excess. It's funny, endearing and profound, revolting and maddening, but always fascinating. The best parts are the ones that Keith himself narrates with that trademark raspy voice and throaty chuckle. But please don't listen if you mind lots of really bad language or really stupid behavior.
