MRambler gives picture date as 28th April though I don't know the source of that info.

Jane Rose put the pics up on Keith's site on friday.

Yes. it is weird that she puts the old photos of KR in the same day when a new Mick's video comes out.
Much has been said here about the negative role of Don Was or Chuck, but no one talked about Jane Rose. I think it was her decision to give this particular passage from the KR's book in the Times and then allow to print the obscene interview, in which Richards discusses with the interviewer the sizes of penis and balls of his so-called friend.
I think that she is largely responsible for what is happening now with the Stones ,I mean the relationship between Mick and Richards.
It seems that she is more concerned to prove that Keith Richards is much more significant and cooler than Mick Jagger, than about the legacy and the future of the Rolling Stones

Im not sure who is taking longer to get over it Mick or ProudMary

I think the KR's desire to humiliate Jagger is stronger than his desire to keep the Stones.

The vocal microphone and the note stand tells me that this is a pic of Keith recording new material, or at least something that he doesn't know well enough to sing, by heart.

Great!

Hm. I would agree with snout eighty percent of that assessment, so I must also be a compete idiot. I would say that Jagger is not all about the money, but also the acclaim and success. But they are waiting on him, and were doing so before the publication of Life. Mick still wants a solo hit record.

I think Jagger is the greatest frontman ever. He's funny and smart. Cold is not the word I would use, but neither would I call him "warm." what is this discussion about exactly? Of course they all like success and money. All I said is that they are waiting on Mick, and they were before the "Life" interviews. Of course Patti's illness figured into things. Personally I don't think the Stones need a hit single. A good record would be nice though. In my opinion, Dave Stewart isn't the most exciting collaborator. But Mick can obviously do what turns him on. He's more than earned that. They all have.

I would not say that I am a big fan of Dave Stewart. but he is a true and loyal friend to Jagger in contrast to Richards. If you'he read the interviews KR gave after the end of the BB tour (before the book) - it's a constant flow of mud on Mick which can be summarized in few words - Boy, Do I Hate Mick Jagger
Hardly a good basis for productive teamwork.
You write, they were waiting on Mick. When? 2008 2009 - out of question ( too soon after the tour and the illness of Richards' wife), so you're talking about 2010, while Richards was finishing his book, full of attacks on Jagger and designed to rewrite the history of the Stones, with emphasis on the fact that all what they have achieved that's his, KR's personal merit.
I personally read an Richards interview with Fox long before there were first excerpts from the book on the Internet. and I understood it's direction. So if Jagger is really smart, he could figure out the tone of the book. TO go on tour with Richads it meant to give him the opportunity to promote his book and his attacks on Jagger.
That's why Richards in all of the interviewes in the time of promotion of the book on the the question how does a book affect the relationship with Jagger said that they were going to record an album in December and in July to go on tour - just to give the legitimacy to it.
I think Mick wanted to see how things turn out - and that's what he got: an unprecedented campaign of ridicule and humiliation
After this Keith, as I understand it, is not going to apologize and quietly recording his solo album.
Richards has always declared his love for the Stones and what we have now? Stones are off topic in conversations with Jagger, Charlie and Ronnie.
Richards owns them alone. But you're right - he's more than earned that

What is this discussion about now? Coming in cold and reading the posts back to back it looks like most agreeing, just saying it from different angles.
Dave Stewart might be a good friend to Jagger; but I don't think you can call him a "better friend" than Keith. Jagger and Keith grew up together , and have been joined at the hip through the wild formative years. Dave S showed up after Jagger had been around for ages, and in many people's opinion already done with his best years.

I think you're taking the "attacks" on Jagger too literally. These guys have been through quite a few storms together. They have a strong bond. This is nothing.

And, don't trust Fox

Hey, you know I would love to be wrong. I've never seen the Stones live, not @#$%& once, and would very much like to see them. So if Mick would forgo his pride and dignity for my pleasure - I will accept it with gratitude

I'm not blaming Mick for anything. I just said what everyone knows: that the rest of the band is waiting on him. No judgement.

In addition, Mick does not do anything solo - in contrast to KR.
"Jagger is not all about the money, but also the acclaim and success".
And Richards isn't like this? He stars in the Disney movie for the love of cinema art and writes tabloid book for the love of literature.

I think Keith looks wonderful with the glasses and white hair.

If he went up onstage like that, and just PLAYED his damned guitar, I'd be thrilled.

No need to kick his legs and flail his arms...let Jagger be the showman.

Just lay down a tight, relentless rhythm. Less leads, more riffing. He can walk around the stage and smile at the crowd, but other than that, just PLAY.

That's the badass Keith I want back.
