Keith Richards on writing children's book: 'It's time to make grandpas hip'
Ree Hines
TODAY contributor
He's a singer, guitarist, songwriter and founding member of one of the bands that's come to define rock 'n' roll, but Keith Richards isn't ready to rest on his laurels. At 70, the iconic Rolling Stones rocker has added an unexpected entry to his impressive resume: children's book author.
TODAY
Richards spoke to TODAY's Matt Lauer about his newest gig, grandpas and good music.
On why he wrote his autobiographical kids' book "Gus & Me: The Story of My Granddad and My First Guitar": "I've realized, you know, it's time to make grandpas hip."
On the lessons he hopes readers take away from it: "It could … help kids be aware that they do have grandparents and grandfathers. But at the same time, I'm hoping it works in reverse. I mean, the grandparents recognize and realize that they have grandkids, and (they need) to tighten that bond."
On whether his own grandkids and their generation will appreciate his work with the Rolling Stones: "Music's music. People still listen. I mean, people get off on really good music like Mozart. It doesn't matter that it's 200 or 300 years old."

Shouldn't it be Gus and I? I don't get Matt Lauer's greatness by the way. He starts the segment by reading from a teleprompter. How great is that? He has some journalistic ambitions though which Jimmy Fallon totally lacks.
He (Fallon) totally sucks up to Keith. It's a bit embarrassing. And does he have to show the book to the audience the whole time like a cheap salesman?

I guess he does, Nightskyman. Seems like that is the way it's done overthere. Overhere (Sweden) you would be reported for it. At least on public service channels.
It violates the agreement public service has with the state. It's advertising basically.
