I disagree. Even though his comment are not tha different than may of us have spelled here at IORR, I can't rememer any of the people close to him - or were there then - has said is so frankly that "in some ways it’s like reading about a completely different person, a mythological Keith, Keith the actor. Other people who know him have said the same. When I knew Keith, he was a very quiet guy." I think he hit target 100% there. This should be kept in mind when one reads and interprets this "honest" book. Quite many also here seem to be still totally blinded by the mythological Keith Richards, and do not distinguish the entertainer from the honest truth-teller.

Why is that news? Keith even says so himself (mythological Keith)...

It is not news if I say that, but it is news because it said by someone who actually were there in real world when the most mythological part of the book was written. Like I said, I can't see anyone - 'who knows' - making the point so clearly as Taylor does it here. Me, a fan boy who knows next to nothing, was actually disappointed how much Keith sounded like buried to his own myth, and "keeping up appearances" (of this not just as coolest rock guitarist and song-writer ever and a junkie who never dies, but as a natural born (Boy Scot) leader, and a blues man who at the same time was born to be an international superstar and well endowed super lover).
The problem with Keith's own 'confession' is that of liar's paradox: if a liar says he is a liar, is he telling lies? Keith's 'self-reflection' in regard to that theme, in the middle of that 'let's keep all the best myths alive and tell a few more to entertain people what a badass I am', was not very convincing to me in that book.

No wonder, Mick T had a much better relationsship with Mick J than with Keith.Quote

Never knew that Atlantic deal. The Rolling Stones = Mick Jagger and four others..
Interstingly, I sense Taylor briefly making Keith a bit ridiculous in this article, whereas Jagger comes out of almost a hero. It could very well be that in following years Keith's mythological take on Stones history might be challenged by the very people who actually were there... C'mon Mick(s), tell your story....
But I need to say that Keith's book is importnant as an book - everybody seemed to have read it, have an opinion about it, and it provoked quite a lot of further discussion, which I hope will continue.

It is interesting to speculate about the FOURth other Rolling Stone after Bill Wyman left.
Who is it? Darryl Jones? Chuck Leavell? Blondie Chaplin? Brenda?
