As a final stab, 40 years later, Richards adds: “[Marianne] had no fun with [Mick’s] tiny todger. I know he’s got an enormous pair of balls — but it doesn’t quite fill the gap.”
What can I say? Classy act, indeed

While I don't want to imply this applies to all posters here,there are many people with opinions who seem to suggest they were not only present at the time, but were actual friends with the guys in the band.....WTF? Always easy I guess to recreate history based on personal agendas and dislike for certain band members.
I don't think many on this board know band members personally. However, there are lots of members here with profound knowledge (beyond comprehension, really) about the Stones.
Here in Norway, I'm considered a Stones-freak, but I don't know half of what some people here do.
Damn, for years I thought I was the biggest Rolling Stones fan in the world - that nobady is so crazy for the band as I do! I was almost ashamed for that.... But then, years after, I discovered the new world of internet, and I discovered that I am not actually so crazy at all - there are actually more crazier people than me! Like DandelionPowderman, Gazza and Rockman, and ALL the rest of you ...I love you all! Damn, I love to have people like you; I love sharing thoughts with you!

Iam with Limbostone who said early in this thread that he does not really apologies, he only regrets that Mick got offended. Too often in the last year keith said things like it was necassary to write this book the way he did because it "balanced out" things, or that it was only the truth, and so on. Not only in the time of promoting the book, also in recent interviews, so it is hard to imagine, that he feels sorry for the things he said.
Some here said that Keith praised Mick alot in the book for being a great frontman, but I think a main problem is that he belittles Mick as a songwriter. I think that is Keith´s main "crime". That he always puts himself above Mick, nearly in every aspect. That just shows how little Keith must feel, that he puts so much effort in bashing Mick.

Nice picture the article has:
Anyway, the article - which no way is the most delicated piece of journalism in the first place - has an inconsistency. It says:
There is something unspeakably inappropriate about two 68-year-old grandfathers arguing about the size of a penis.
Frankly, Keith Richards and Mick Jagger make me embarrassed to be a Rolling Stones fan. I blush hotly for the pair of them.
And then all it does is to reflect Keith's doings and sayings. Because Richards acts childishly (talks about the size of Jagger's member), Mick Jagger makes the writer embarrassed? What has Mick done or said actively in this "todgergate"? That's bloody unfair to blame him!

Presumably, he's embarrassed that Mick is so sensitive about his freaking todger that it is even an issue. Especially since in all of the live footage from the 1970s, Mick's pants leave nothing to the imagination about his todger in the first place. If I were almost 70 years old, I can't imagine the size of my todger would be one of my top concerns in life.
BTW, why is mick so short in that pic?

How do we know that Mick is sensitive about it? He never talked about it. Maybe there are other things in that book that matter more to Mick.

He does it by saying that he, Keith, wrote 95% of all songs.

While Mick has never made any todger comments publicly, you can't forget that the two of them have known each other well since they were teenagers. During the early years Keith could have become aware of some sensitivy in this area on Mick's part (play on words intended) and still bug him about it to this day.

Ok, I read it, but I did not see any proof that this is Mick´s main issue with the book. Instead of it, I read once again the old myth, that Keith has the music and Mick has the lyrics.

Well, it's just nonsense. What "sensitivy on Mick's part" are you talking about? Jagger, as can be judged by his tight, leaves no place to imagination pants and relations with women has always been of a very high opinion of himself in this area. Being as Bebe Beull called him "the ringmaster of sexual romp" he loved strip naked in front of others(there is a similar story in J.Phelge's "Nankering with the RS")
Richards is another story. That's who has hypersensitivity to the subject. He clearly had problems with a sexual desire all his life.
When Brian already had children and the girls came to the Jagger, Richards slept with his guitar. Linda Keith wrote that he had some problems of which he was embarrassed. Anita complained that he never wanted to have sex. At the time when he had not yet started to create this myth of KR - the macho- pirate - the largest dick on the planet he said himself that he never was a great fvcker
All his life Richards was surrounded by men with a high libido. Please note that not only Mick, but B.Jones and Bill Wyman cause his resentment.
One of the most petty passages of the book when he describes how he watched Wyman who met with the girls in his room. Richards spent hours on it peeping through the keyhole while the other enjoyed himself. So pathetic...
I think Jerry Hall right when she says that Richards has a penis envy

It's been a while since I read Life so I don't recall Keith's exact comments about the song-writing process there. But Keith has acknowledged publicly in many interviews that while some songs are his music and Mick's words, and Keith never in those interviews negated the fact that many great songs were all or mostly Mick's, including the music. Maybe people are misinterpreting Keith's description of how the songs that feature Mick's lyrics to Keith's music as describing how EVERYTHING gets written.
