Keith Richards: There are times on stage when I feel immortal



Making music and performing gets more interesting with age, Rolling Stones legend Keith Richards tells Anthony Mason, in an interview for “CBS Sunday Morning” -- and there are times, Richards says, he feels immortal on stage.

The British band has been performing for more than half a century. As far as creating music, Richards said, “I can’t imagine not being enthusiastic about it. And as long as I’ve got the guys -- a solid group of guys around me that feel the same way -- then I start to feel immortal for a little while.”

In an interview to air Sunday, December 4, Richards, 72, and Rolling Stones front man Mick Jagger, 73, talk with Mason about their careers, their views on the future of the band, and their new album, “Blue and Lonesome,” an unplanned collection of blues covers they recorded in three days while preparing to create a different album.

Asked what aspirations he still has for the band, Jagger said, “Things weirdly present themselves. I mean, there’s a certain thing you have to keep going.”

Pressed, Jagger admitted he could have stopped 20 years ago, if the band had wanted. Still, the Rolling Stones continue, though he doesn’t spend a lot of time thinking about why they do it.

“It’s not something I analyze,” Jagger said. “You create a momentum yourself. And then something interesting comes up, which is outside the ordinary -- doing a blues album in three days, you know, reinvigorates your interest somewhat.”

The Emmy Award-winning “CBS Sunday Morning,” hosted by Jane Pauley, is broadcast on CBS Sundays beginning at 9:00 a.m. ET. Executive producer is Rand Morrison.
