I don't think it is polite to try to visit their home.
However, it is interesting where they choose to live. For example, why would Keith choose Connecticut, when he has always suggested he prefers warm weather.

I believe Patti Hansen is from that area, if memory serves.

It is my policy, running IORR since 1980, to give the band members respect of their private life at their homes. No need to stalk them at their homes.

Has this thread turned into some weird fantasy/dream/wish thing?
Anyways, back in reality, last year I passed by Redlands, and had a little nose around the lanes. My 6 year old daughter (and concert-going Stones fan) had drawn KR a card, and left in the letter box there...

My first invite to one of their private homes was Ronnie's 60th at Holmwood, I went the following year too and also know the current owners so have been back since. Big parties with many present from Music, Sport etc...
Much much more memorable are the many times I have spent one on one. I pitched Ronnie the idea of a live version of "I Feel Like Playing" at Ruxley Towers where he lived with Kat and then Anna. Made me smile seeing just "Matt" entered in for the day on his Kitchen wall planner. I visited him at Ruxley at least a handful of times.
The other homes I have been invited to are still current so maybe a story for another day.

I've only ventured to West Sussex a handful of times, but it is my understanding that West Wittering is a nice little village. Doesn't Keith own a beach hut in the locality?

In 1987 I was a 26 year boy from Germany visiting a friend in New York. One night I went to Nell‘s which was the hot new club in the also new hip meat district.
Nell‘s was a black clun with a minority of ca. 30% white guests. In the lounge room I spottet Jeff Beck. My friend said: „Go and say hello to him. He will be happy even one is recognizing him in this black scene here. So I did. I said:
„If you are the one I guess you are, I like to thank you for the work you did on the last solo album of Mick“ He was very pleased, smiled, thanked me and startet to tell that he is actually right now with Mick in the studio again to record the
next solo-album. (which later became Primitive Cool). And that they are recording at Power Station and in Mick‘s house. He was very pleasant. Telling some things about the recording work an how it goes on etc. And when I repeated that Mick got a house here, he said yes its somewhere around West xxth/Riverside Drive.
So we chatted for a while. Later the night on my way home to my friends appartment (who left the club earlier)my taxi passed West 84th street near Riverside Drive. I asked the cab driver to drop me off. And walked down 84th street towards Riverside Drive. I geezed at the houses. Guessing which one could be Mick‘s. Not long and I discovered a nice house. Better refurbished than all the others. I walked the stairs to the door. And looked at a big Sothebys envelope looking out the letter box. I looked at the adress field on the envelope
and my heart stood still. „To Michael P. Jagger“. And there was a second one.
From Sothebys. Looking exactly the same. So I took the first one and took it home. A envelope to Mick! But I couldn‘t sleep. Not one second. So I stood up ar 4 o‘clock in the morning called a cab and sticked it back in Mick’s letterbox.
Never went back to the place again. Never did anything like this again. Still embarassed.

I am glad you XXed out the cross street with Riverside Drive.
Oops...until you revealed it to be 84th St. later on.
And I cannot believe you are bragging about not only a major personal intrusion on the life and possibly livelihood of Mr. Jagger, but some kind of big time law about stealing mail. Maybe thats only in America.
Yes I did see you returned it. Funny, that tactic didn't work out quite so well with me after having misgivings about robbing that bank.
