Really?
I thought Jane Rose arrived on the scene at the end of the 70's (as Mick's and the groups PA initially).
Assuming these photos are 1977.

It’s strange, these pictures are said to come from Spanish Tony but he said he never talked to them again after Knebworth in 76.
This looks like 78/79 to me...
Na.Only the pictures posted by Ouroux first are said to be from Spanish Tony and they all are from 1974.
Back to this topic, I've only mentioned what's on the description for the auction , and it is 1977.

But i find it interesting that Keith never was that out of it. High, deeply depressed probably, but never really that careless. I think theres some sense and truth to that whole notion of at least somewhere in the back of his mind he knew it was a very long addictive experiment that could kill him had ne not stuck to certain procedurs ie. never go IV. Brian Jones played with death and so did Keith but I doubt Keith ever wanted to die. That may have saved him.

The photos are not from 1977. Mid 1978 and/or late 1978 and/or early 1979.

Just an opinion of course, but I think Keith was lucky rather than in control. A bit like the guy who beats the odds and wins a huge lottery jackpot twice. I think the glamorization of Keith the junkie led to so many other casualties, including countless fans that he never met. I'm not saying he's responsible for anyone else's actions, but I think it dangerous to set him up as a hero who through the worst of it all was still Keith. He was lucky and had lots of money to buy the best quality merchandise most of the time and was fortunate to usually have people around to look after him...sometimes that was his little boy. Keith's music makes him a hero. His abuse makes him a flawed hero.

I always hated it that Keith let that “ the ultimate wasted drug guy “ thing become his image.
It seeped into the public conscience during the 80s largely pushed by a lot of stand-up comedians who were Stones fans,
I distinctly remember my brother and I cracking up about a guy saying something about going out getting drunk on a work night”and the next day you’re sitting in a meeting and you look like Keith Richards”
It was hilarious because it was the first time I heard his name used that way,it sure wasn’t the last.
Keith is as talented as John Lennon or Jimmy Page who were both junkies but it’s the last thing you think when you hear their names and with him,for too many people,it’s The first.
He was pushing those nonsensical tales about blood changes and staying up for nine days even in the 70s,I’ve never figured out why it was so important to him to be seen that way.

Unfortunately, among people my age (35-45), Keith Richards' name is a punchline that's synonymous with "drunk junkie".
Well, that and talking about his haggard appearance and marveling at how he's still alive.Quote
