I was NOT making a joke. I don't think he would find using an iPhone easy with the condition his fingers are in.Quote

Not necessarily. There are plenty of guitarists his age whose fingers are still relatively supple and aren't deformed (Clapton, Townshend, Gilmour, etc.).Quote

Keith's fingers are the price he has paid for his career/job. He's been compensated quite handsomely and has access to the finest health-care, drugs, therapy etc. that money can buy....so, I don't feel bad for him in the slightest
RunRudolf - you do realize that wishing ill-will as "karma" is bad karma for you, right?

He just had the bad luck to have that particular health condition...and I do feel bad for him because his fingers are his livelihood. He obviously can still play but it's a cruel trick to have your body betray you in that way.
For sure...I'm just saying that, theoretically, his condition could have been so severe that it rendered him unable to play at all. He (and we as fans) are lucky that he can still play as well as he can given the state of his fingers.Quote

Keith no longer wears the skull ring due to the inflamed and gnarled arthritic fingers. And while he still can play, clearly the arthritis has been an increasing hindrance to how and what he plays.
I have very minor arthritis in my wrist due to a fracture from skateboarding when I was younger - it only occasionally becomes painful when I lift too much stuff and/or in very cold weather and then I'll wear a wrist brace.
Those things tend to catch up with you as you grow older, but in no way is it as bad as Keith's. And while I still enjoy playing guitar, it's definitely not as easy as it used to be...

Hairball do you know for a fact that is why Keith took off the skull ring?
Your reason is a guess.
For all we know, he donated it to the Smithsonian.
There are ways and means health wise to find solutions/live with me alternatives.
More gold rings on Keith!

I do wonder how many hours he spent "curating" this number though...

That's from an older photo shoot, I believe...2-3 years ago at least.Quote

Once again great photo. Actually I didn’t realize his fingers were that long.

MUST be a great album...just OK or half-good won't do it this time. Not for the last one. But I understand how even a couple of solid tracks would be acceptable to a lot of fans after this LOOOOOOOONG time of waiting. Ultimately you may be right anyhow...Quote

I feel this. But what needs to happen now is another great mini tour and a good new album. Doesn't have to be great just a good album with 1/2 standout tracks.
Then a farewell concert in my garden in Barnet, UK.

Too much nostalgia for me.
Well that's not the editors' fault if the truly interesting pop/rock music blossomed between (roughly) 1965 and 1980.
That's the sad irony we live in : there's never been as many bands as there are today but there's very little good new music to grab. Whereas it was the opposite in the 60's/70's 'fewer bands better music).
Ridiculously untrue.

“Rolling Stones Riffmaster and closet polymath Keith Richards...”
Mojo
From Polymath Society International:
. A polymath is not necessarily a brain. In fact, a polymath usually does not think of his or herself as being particularly smart, only curious.
The polymath strives to preserve consciousness. It is the mind in control of emotions, but also the genuine integration of feelings and sensibilities with thought, so the polymath is also a poet, a composer, an artist, or a novelist perhaps.
“The heart of a fool is in his mouth, but the mouth of a wise man is in his heart."Benjamin Franklin, Poor Richard, 1733
