I woke up this morning with the word "channeling" in my head. Why? I don't know but I thought I better do something with it so here you go. Many musicians or not have "channeled" Keef either his looks, his guitar style and sound, his wit and for some unfortunate his drug habits. To me, the one who came the closest to be Keith Richards is Johnny Thunders. I know Keith make fun of that shit but he also acknowledges that himself imitated Chuck Berry. Lots of artists if not all of them go through that "channeling" phase; nothing comes from nothing.
