Maron earlier podcasts with Mick and Keith about Sticky are also nice
I can't believe Marc actually lit up, but I suppose if you're going to break a 10 year streak, Keith would be as good a reason as any. Hopefully he stays on the horse after that lapse.Quote

Maron is good, as usual, though a bit gobsmacked by Keith's presence.
For a guy who doesn't much follow the band live, he knew enough about the music
to ask some pertinent questions, with a slightly different slant than other interviewers.
He even smoked a cig with Keith, chancing resuming the habit he gave up a while back.
Well, it goes along with the last ep of his TV show...as Marc Maron's fans know.
He's a standup comedian who's been fairly popular in the States for over 25 years. He started an acclaimed podcast called WTF a few years ago and has recorded over 600 episodes with some of the biggest names in music, movies and politics (he had Obama on a few months ago and made national headlines).Quote

I have no idea who Marc Maron is.
Marc is also a recovering alcoholic and was a major cokehead...he got sucked into Sam Kinison's inner circle in LA in the '80s, which will give you some idea of how bad his coke addiction got.Quote

I think Keith really didn't want dude to smoke again. I thought I heard "why don't you try an see if you can resist." Made me think he doesn't like being a bad role model, I know... gasp.

ok so I listened to the WTF interview, then I listened after that to the 2010 interview with Terry Gross, Keith promoting 'Life"..
Marc Maron is an ideal interviewer for Keith..
good job he did covering a lot of history, especially getting Keith talking about Jimmy Miller, and his parents..
but Terry Gross, who is a great interviewer, seemed to annoy him a little..
interesting comparison, to me anyway..

I didn't get that vibe...it sounded more like Keith was daring him to light up.Quote

Kinda evil on Keith's part, but that's why we love him. Marc is a bit of a health freak now so I'm sure he'll stay off the cigs.

Indeed that was a fun interview with Keith, very relaxed and down to earth. Thanks keefriff99.
I did notice that Keith confirmed he still owns his house in Ocho Rios Jamaica, some have reported here that he got rid of it. I do recall reading somewhere that due to violence and some other factors in that country that Patti has somewhat lost interest in it. Sad to hear that a lot of the Wingless Angels have passed away.
Great that he gives a nod to Jimmy Miller concerning the great new direction they took with Beggar's Banquet.
You do get the feeling he hasn't seen or talked to Taylor since they toured together.
Just read that Johnson was supporting himself as a bus driver at the time of Hail Hail Rock'n'Roll. A real shame for such a talent.Quote

It was a great interview.
I found this comment from Keith interesting:
The last thing that Ian Stewart told me, and this was just before he died, he said, "Don't forget Keith, that Johnnie Johnson is alive and playing."

In his speech at his induction in the Rock N Roll hall of fame, Jimmie Johnson goes into this and credits keith Richards with turning his career around. he says something like "god bless keith richards"
