I just read about [former Rolling Stones bass player] Bill Wyman getting upset about a plaque at Dartford station honoring you and Mick.
Yeah. I actually don't know exactly what it said, but Mick just the other day came up to me and says, "Do you believe this shit, man? Bill Wyman is complaining about the plaque at Dartford station." I said, "A plaque? I thought we had a statue."
He was pissed off because it said you and Mick "formed" the Rolling Stones.
I know he took umbrage with that, but I can't understand why. Bill wasn't there when the band was formed. Ian Stewart formed the band—we gravitated around him. Bill was a quirky, funny old f*ucker, but why he should make some ?kind of public 'do about it.?.?.?. I think Mick sent a note saying—?because Bill comes from a town called Penge—"Bill, if a plaque went up in Penge station that said you were the founding member of the Rolling Stones, do you think we'd complain?" But Bill—oh, we love him ?dearly, and he was a hell of a bass player. We didn't tell him to leave.

But he calls Bill "hell of a bass
Player", so a nice compliment there.

This is why everybody loves Keith. He's got the perfect answers to (almost) every question.
A bit thrown off by his Sgt. Peppers comments. Not roots enough? Carried away? Rubbish like Satanic Majesties? Clearly it's time he smoked that joint and had another listen.

Keith is right on target
And then there are those that don't give a care in the world as to who number 1 is and who is number 2. Put me in that categoryQuote

the Stones will always have the rap of being second to the Beatles, however, in the general view of most people.
not me.

I suspect Keith is including Satanic Majesties so as not to sound like a prick when he comments that the Beatles understandably lost their way (in his opinion). Also, looking at the Stones oeuvre as it continued, TSMR is certainly a side alley. Even Between the Buttons has more basis in the blues.

Keith never liked the Beatles music much. I doubt Jagger does either.
I don't know why anyone would be surprised Keith said that about Sgt. Peppers.

He's the best interview in the business.
I had begun to worry, 'cause his press avails for the Zip Code kickoff were so anodyne and boring.
Clearly, his mind was elsewhere!

These comments about Sgt Pepper are getting major media attention, does not make Keith look very good.

It'll be forgotten in 24-48 hours, like everything else.
