Hopefully this hasn't been posted before. When skimming through an early November NME, I found an interview with Kelly Jones (of Stereophonics) where he was asked whether he did remember another Stereophonics member's wife (I know, this sounds quite complicated, but we are coming into the matter) being chatted up, with the man in question thinking she was a dancer.Jones's answer:
"It was Mick Jagger.We'd opened for them in Paris. That was a good day, we ate shepherd's pie and had a game of snooker with Keith Richards in his dressing room... Jagger came into the dressing room and said to the (Stereophonics bassist's) wife: 'Are you a dancer?' We said, 'Mick, it's the @#$%& bass player's wife. He said, 'sorry', and carried on chatting up everybody else."
So, even if Keith hasn't been to Mick's dressing room for 20 years, as he so memorably laments in his memoirs, Mick has been to Keith's, at least in 2003 when this Paris gig took place. Though it seems, based on this memoir at least,that nearly everybody somehow connected to the Stones tour spends time in Keith's dressing room...

Former Stereophonics drummer Stuart Cable - who supported The Rolling Stones on a European tour - was amazed when the band's frontman Sir Mick Jagger warned him he was in trouble for helping himself to a portion of the mashed potato-topped treat before Keith had eaten.
Stuart revealed in his new book Demons and Cocktails: "I whacked several hefty spoonfuls onto my plate. Mick Jagger came in and stopped in his tracks and the pleasantness suddenly left his face, 'Who's eating that?'
"He said, 'Do you know the rules? You never, ever, take the shepherd's pie unless Keith's broken the crust first.' He twirled on his heels and said jokingly, 'Enjoy the show, boys. If there will be a show. I'm not sure if he'll go on after this.' At least I thought it was a joke."
Desperate to avoid a disaster, Stuart was ordered to take the pie back to the canteen to be "recrusted".
He explained: "Luckily, when I got to catering I knew the waitress. She took it back and shook her head slowly and muttered, 'Don't you know the rules?'
But she soon went to work on it and re-laid the potato topping making it as good as new, even if it was a little thinner. Major world disaster averted."
Despite his attempts to conceal the pilfered pie, Stuart was confronted by Keith after the show.
He added: "Later that night we were invited to play pool with them. Suddenly Keith stopped the game in mid-stroke. The lines on his face were more prominent than normal. Then he potted the yellow, placed his cue down and wandered over to me, a joint dangling on the edge of his lips. 'You ate my shepherd's pie, didn't you?' he whispered."

Later on he says some people claimed he stole Anita. He said he didn't steal her; he 'rescued her' from Brian, and rescued Brian from himself. Later in the book he says Brian never "forgave me for stealing Anita, and I don't blame him". (Probably not exact quote, but that was the jist of it). Did anyone else find he contradicts himself a fair few times in this book?
