The tiny todger remark was just a reduction (forgive me) of the opening line of "I Could Have Stood You Up." Nothing new about it from Keith. The put-down's have been public for a long time. What gets lop-sided is that Mick is the only target, remember Mick and Keith berating Ronnie as "Rhonda" during the SNL rehearsals because Ronnie was busy snorting coke with SNL cast members when they were trying to rehearse "Summer Romance?" No different than the "Brenda" routine. Keith has always had a childish side. No surprise there, very few rock stars advance beyond adolescence emotionally for all the obvious reasons. Not saying that is all there is to Keith (it isn't), but it is part of his personality or how he deals with his bandmates, certainly. Being in a rock band means you're hanging onto your teenage dream to an extent. All part of why Keith wanted to "grow it up" with more mature songwriting. He was partially successful in that aim at least with his own lead vocal efforts.
number of people listening to Richards' solo albums are not comparable with the number of people who read the book which they believe is the story of the Stones. Not to mention the fact that the song is not named names, in contrast to the book.
There is big difference between "Well hung, friend of mine
He's size 8 -I'm size 9" and "Mick Jagger has tiny todger"
But that's not the book itself. whether it's just a book, people might not pay attention to it because the book gives the context, and in general there is a lot of stuff in it, so the reader's attention is not focused on anything that one.
But Richards chose for the very first publication in the newspaper( The Times) just this piece, and discussed later in interview Mick's genitals, Brenda,annoying mynah bird, shared what Jerry Hall said to him and what you want
This interview started the compaign of ridiculing Jagger, which lasted several months. I'm sorry, but this is different from the fact that at the rehearsal Mick called Ronnie Ronda - Jagger did not go with it to a newspaper to get a scoop.
Richards' problem is that he is not confident. He did not believe that without Jagger and his penis his book will draw attention.
I do not believe that he hates Mick so much , no, it's probably quite a conscious desire to meet the expectations of the public
Therefore, I believe, Jagger has the right not WANT anything to do with that person.
If he is physically able to do so, yes...Quote

I think hes performed live for about ten minutes in total since August 2007.
That is really sad, come to think of it. A musician must keep busy with his instrument constantly.

Which is all fine and dandy except for the fact that Keith publicly (in an interview) dismissed the "todger" remark as nothing more than a long running joke between them. He also stated that everything is fine between them.
This interview does not exist, no one asked him about it. A German reporter plucked up courage and asked something like "what you're thinking when you wrote it, and it will not spoil your relationship with Mick?". Richards said - "we're going on tour in July. this is a sufficient answer to your question about our relationship?"
And where is this tour?
No tour this year and I do not think that will be the next

"Johnny...yah man...he's a good cat. A friend of my son's...weird little guy..."
"We're waiting on the lead singer...we don't go anywhere if the singer don't wanna do it...I learned that the hard way...(cackle cackle)"
"I'm writing everyday...I wait to receive the signals from above and I transmit them, ya know?"
I'll have my BS-o-meter handy for the interview...

Hey, dewlover - I didn't start the first OFFICIAL tour thread, I just made fun of it by starting my own. The same with the DONE DEAL bit which I think everyone knows belongs to another regular. It was meant in good fun only.
Do I think they'll tour next year? No, I don't but I'd love to be wrong.
Do I think Keith will play tomorrow night on Fallon? No, I don't but I'd love to be wrong.
Do I think there will be another brand new Stones CD? No, I don't (at least not in the next three years) but I'd love to be wrong.

For those that do not believe the Stones have signed a contract not to tour next year, you should be aware that the practice (as it were) is not without precedent as demonstrated in this scene from ANIMAL CRACKERS (1930):
Spaulding: What do you fellas get an hour?
Ravelli: For playing, we get-a ten dollars an hour.
Spaulding: I see. What do you get for not playing?
Ravelli: Twelve dollars an hour.
Spaulding: Well, clip me off a piece of that.
Ravelli: Now for rehearsing, we make special rate. That's-a fifteen dollars an hour...That's-a for rehearsing.
Spaulding: And what do you get for not rehearsing?
Ravelli: You couldn't afford it. You see, if we don't rehearse, we a-don't play, and if we don't play (he snaps his finger) - that runs into money.

Angee, I wouldn't say I told you so because it's just my opinion. I have no insider knowledge, I'm just not expecting it. As always I'd welcome a Stones tour in 2012 and a new album and Keith playing on Fallon tomorrow, but if we were taking bets, I would bet against all three.

It is interesting that Keith chooses to go Jimmy Fallon's show instead of the Letterman Show, which has a better time slot and a bigger audience. Maybe Keith doesn't cotton to Dave?

Less than 7 hrs to go out here on the west coast! Currently watching Shine A Light and just finished my second beer. High anticipation in this household because tonight could determine if there is any future for me as a cheerleader for the Rolling Stones.
