andrea66, think you're being a little rough on Keith. He's known Mick's moves better than almost anyone except Charlie, and those moves have helped make various Rolling Stones extremely wealthy.
Publishers really push authors when they're writing about rock stars. Part of Keith's deal called for him to take some shots, both true and inaccurate. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't regret bits and pieces of what went under his name.
When I wrote a book about my friend Hendrix, my editor amazed me by saying:
"I love the part of you and Jimi confiding in each other about acne problems.
You MUST expand on this. It's fantastic!" Well, you can bet I refused. Many publishers are looking for something they can get tabloids to exploit. And my mind reeled with the kind of headline my editor had in mind.
Keith could have refused here and there...but he didn't. And he didn't say "there were many shows when I was awful and Mick had to cover for me."

if in fact KR was pushed to take shots at his partner to sell books then that's pathetic considering KR story is compelling enough....I don't think anyone pushed KR. He decided to take some of those shots....bad as they were and over the top as they were they reflected poorly on him overall...his reputation suffered somewhat for the personal jabs at Jagger....you read some of those feelings on posts here on IORR...... But to suggest that he took the shots to sell a book would take him several notches and several hits lower and I don't think he'd sell out Mick to that degree.
