Tell Me :
Talk
And none of those apply to Keith, unless we're talking about a different Keith Richards.
What movie was playing?
Keith apparantly doesn't prefer bum sex with women either, given the choice. He quoted his dad saying something "second hole down from the back of the neck, son, that's the one you want."
KR and the Stones ran in a very gay crowd from early days. He likes to use old fashioned slang. He used to say "spade" a lot. Can you imagine that now?
...and Mick Jagger.
Really? Wish someone would've told me. I've been doing it wrong all those years. Certainly helps explain all those funny noises from the women.
"Quentin Crisp"
...no, "Willard" actually.
Nice try!
Rats!
Exactly.
Nope, obviously not...

So, what are you going to do about it...? Call a boycott? Encourage the local radio station to tell all the kids to bring their records down to the station and stage a bonfire? Pen Keith a letter urging him to record Kumbaya?
By the way, did you know Keith Richards was a heroin addict?
Additionally, he speaks poorly and unapologetically of the dead and/or people he considers weak?
And a kid shot himself in or near his wife's bed, and apparently Keith, not unlike the honeybadger, don't give a fock?
Much of adult reality involves imperfection and ambiguity. With public figures, it's even more obvious.
Keith wasn't posing when he said "We're not worried about petty morals."
Part of that grime, by the way, is baked into his song-writing, playing, and voice that you, like many Stones' fans, find yourself stirred and excited by.

This is the stupidest thread I have seen yet on this site.
And it's only a few weeks since we had the exact same thread!
When any well-known personality, writes a tell all book, including all the gory details plus a lot of language that some might find offensive, he should expect some amount of criticism from it. Keith may have added a lot of offensive language and lies to produce a best selling book. Or he may well be telling the full truth and being totally honest. Or it may be a mixture of both. If he is being honest, which I suspect is true, then people, including me, have a right to criticize him. When one uses the word faggot and fairy over and over, it is obvious he is having a serious problem with about 5% of the world population. This is an issue. So, why is this a stupid thread? Because you do not want to hear about it?
By the way, I still think Keith is the best guitarist I have ever heard.
Talk about your favorite band.

Homophobia is a polite term for people who are bigoted, prejudiced, and engage in fag bashing.
And none of those apply to Keith, unless we're talking about a different Keith Richards.

One can read "No one gets out of here alive" about Jim Morrison, there is an episode where the guy, drunk or high, did all of these wild things, he's standing in the middle of a street and traffic is going by him and he's shouting "Your all a bunch of (racial epithet)", yet, I don't see that supposed incident as something to think about whether Jim Morrison was a racist. I guess you could make a case he was inebriated so that would have to be taken into account.

It's clear that Keith finds men engaging in bum sex etc as something that ain't for him and that he finds some aspects of it funny, but I don't think this extends to him hating or despising gay people because they are gay.

I don't agree with you. I think what Keith says in his fantastic book "life" is ok - the homosexuals who were at Studio 54 would quite probably say the same. You lot have been given plenty of freedom and almost more than equality, but you have to stop being too serious, have a joke, have a laugh, don't be ridiculous. I would prefer it if we keep this site more to the music please...

I am really into this book Keith wrote, Life. The man is very interesting, and I admire his ability to have risen from a poor background to be one of the very best blues and rhythm guitarists ever. I also believe he is being honest in saying he has always admired black musicians and the blues, and he has been friends with many black people throughout his career, even in the very early days when it was not cool to be that way.
Throughout his book, he has made slanderous comments about gays. In chapter eleven, for instance, he refers to all the people at Studio 54 as a room full of faggots in boxer shorts, waving champagne bottles in your face. Truman Capote was similarly bashed. On the other hand, he has befriended other gays, such as Robert Fraser. He seems to think it is OK to be gay if you keep it hidden, do not flaunt it, keep it hidden, or are able to render a service to him such as getting him smack.

I don't think Keith is homophobic at all. Having been an avid fan and observer for 50 years, I've gathered that Keith likes to use all kinds of slang and I think he finds it cool or funny. He doesn't come across like he means it. You can't take a lot of what he says literally. Just my opinion from what I've seen and heard over the years. I think if Keith were asked if he has something against gays, he would say, "Hey, whatever floats you're boat." He had nothing against Billy Preston back in the seventies and Billy was gay.
