could be talking about the comedy in the US presidential election
season, now:
How do you feel about the situation there politically? Are you at all political?
No. I watch it, you know. It's the height of cynicism for me to watch that whole power play go down. Just to see such hams get away with such a bad act over and over again, you know. I mean, it's an ongoing soap opera of the worst kind, but people still watch it.

I remember buying that issue when it came out, I still have it somewhere. Can't believe that was 34 years ago!

Man those old interviews are great! Thanks for the posts. Back in a time when all the stories Keith told weren't recycled 100 times and his answers were long and detailed instead of short and anecdotal. Good stuff.

it's possible that it's media that has changed more than keith as far as the style...
also, if you're interviewed less often, it's easier to come up with new material.

«I was the one who was most apprehensive about taking Ronnie into this. He's a very good friend of mine, and I've worked on his solo albums. But he doesn't play like me. To me, Ronnie's keeping together that idea of the Stones sound that Brian and I had. That's how I feel about Ronnie. He has an instinctive feel for what Brian and I originally worked out as far as guitars and the music go. Siamese twins — they both play. Look at it like this: there's one guy, he's just got four arms. That's the way I like to feel about it. Because when it comes out, it doesn't matter how many people are playing and who's doing what. When that sound comes out, does it hit you between the eyes and does it grab you?»
Love it!

So many books used a large % of that interview for their content.
Funny cos there are so many exaggerations etc in it. He lived at Courtfield Road for 2 years? Not even Brian lived there that long.

I could be wrong but I don't recall Keith mentioning Brian much in the media
interviews in the last decade or two.

Come on! Someone lay out what "closeted with Napoleon" means! It's such a bizarre statement. I don't have the faintest idea what the hell he meant! I guess it's safe to say it's about Mick...

Okay, GLS, you got me curious so I did some internet browsing. Keith may have been reading up on Napoleon and I think he's just using it ironically. One of Napoleon's generals was worried about the emperor spending time with someone shady, whom the general believed to be a traitor. I think Keith's just twisting the quote to mean he's been closeted (in close, intimate contact) with the band (as in a bunch of shady characters) at Long View Farm.

Keith was screwing around with the interviewer a lot, as he still does. He says his father
er was injured in Wwi ("gassed I think"). His father obviously was way too young to be in Wwi and in fact was injured in wwii.
