Also a skilled thing to do signing those photos while in coma!

>>Yes it does seem to be the same source on closer inspection,but rewritten.

you mean re-inspired, ehh

I don't know how you call this in english but in german it's "Stille Post"
You whisper a sentence into someone elses ear, he passes it on, and on and on -
in the end you have a totally different story

Lukester -

i made the lime-coconut reference a couple of days ago.

hurrumph!

... i also thought it sounded like a facial surgery thing... but iam too weary now, by this whole day, to make any jokes... and besides, i love Keith's lived-in face.

(don't think a wee nip/tuck would do Mick's face any harm, tho! ;o) just a girlz opinion) but i might add, Mick's bod is awesome - i wouldn't mind that flat a belly!

There was a post up earlier today that said he went to the cleveland clinic- which has one of the best teams of doctors in the world to deal with brain hemorages- i think BV deleated it because it did not name its source and anytime someone posts a story btu cannot name their source theres a good chance its not true- im not even saying i believed it i just wanted to know if anyone else knew if that was true or not

Just found this on yahoo.news

[uk.news.yahoo.com]

...and another according to the sun - urrrgh

[p081.ezboard.com]

This is a tv news thing from NZ:

"Earlier this week, Rolling Stone Keith Richards
suffered a mild concussion while on holiday in Fiji.
Following treatment locally and as a precautionary measure
he flew to a hospital accompanied by his wife
Patti for observation." (see link)

i think yahoo is a reputable source- so we know he suffered a brain hemmorage- and we know hes not in fiji or new zeland hospitals- we do not know where he is at now

open-g, we call that game "telephone"

>> who would you trust? <<

as i said right from the start: i need an official Keith Is Fine statement to keep me happy -
preferably straight from Keith, but Stones Inc will do while Keith's busy recuperating.

it's not a question of trusting Doug or not; he does his best of course and i'm very grateful for his efforts to get us some kind of information.
but he himself retracted his earlier post yesterday, saying that it was perhaps all more serious than he'd been told.
i don't mean he's deliberately spreading false rumours - far from it, just that he doesn't always know.

Keith, be well

oh telephone, thats all?

thank you Cindy

>> Cleveland clinic ... Where is this info? <<

it was posted on shidoobee, by some unknown; then it was reposted here, then the threads were deleted from both sites.
it claimed to be from a friend of someone who works at the hospital in Cleveland, and it was dreadful -
designed to upset people horribly, and it worked, briefly.

Keith, be well

Yeah, sssoul, it gave me a sick feeling inside - shared by many others, I'm sure!

Apparently we should disregard reports - such as this one posted Wednesday on the MTV UK site - that Keith Richards has suffered a hemorrhage and must return to the hospital to have blood drained from his brain.

I called Rolling Stones spokeswoman Fran Curtis about the reports Wednesday morning, and she told me the Stones guitarist is in fine shape.

"He’s out of the hospital," she said. "His manager spoke to him last night. He’s doing well."

Richards was flown to a New Zealand hospital last week after reportedly falling from a palm tree in Fiji while vacationing. Fellow Rolling Stones guitarist Ron Wood also was said to be up the tree; Australian and New Zealand newspapers reported the pair was reaching for coconuts.

One paper also reported that, improbably enough, after the fall Richards had gotten aboard a Jet Ski and had another accident.

The band’s representatives have declined to provide any details about the injury. But Curtis said Richards is in good enough shape that the Stones still plan to kick off a world tour in Barcelona on May 27.

"Everything’s on schedule," she said.

Sounds good, z.

How are the other z and top doing?

Fran Curtis says: "Everything’s on schedule".
That's how official we will get!
Thanks, z!!!

so what about this- is it bs or is it true?

bc87, that's the question for the day.

>> so what about this - is it bs or is it true? <<

we don't know.
in fact, that statement sums up all the news all week:
we don't freakin know what's going on with Keith.

Keith, be well

I am bowing down to you in humility to offer my humbled apology, Oh queen of my most favorite of rooms. Please don't accept my apology because I don't deserve it....I probably deserve a good spanking though.

im gooing to play devils advocate here regarding the clevland clinic "story" since i live very near cleveland and know for a fact that is one of the finest hospitals in the world they saved my mothers life when she had a heart attack recently- the person who posted the story did not give specific sources and could not even name what position the source had within the hospital, so that points to the story not being true, but then again if he was going to make up a story why would eh say keith was at the cleveland clinic of all places they are one of the finest hospitals but why cleveland?? why not some hospital in new york or UCLA medical center- i am definetly confused by this and it seems liek we cant be assured keith is ok until we see him back on stage

ok Lukester

your punishment will be forgiveness.

no cat-o-nine tails for you today!

take that! now go get me a drink.

slave.

oh thank you, I'll learn to accept your forgiveness...here's a vodka on the rocks with just a twist of lime lightly waved over the top

anything else?

>> one of the finest hospitals in the world <<

and you find it credible that one of the finest hospitals in the world would spew confidential information about a patient's drastic condition
and let it be splattered around the internet?? right.

Keith, be well

yes!

a Luis Bunel martini!

daaaang!!

okay, it'll be a few minutes, your highness

I sure wish there was more definite information! The draining of the brain doesn't worry me but WHEN is the surgery scheduled for and WHERE Is Keith now? In the USA? I'd bet he is in a hospital in the USA having the procedure done as quickly and efficiently as possible by the BEST of the best doctors. Brain surgery CAN be simply, let's hope there are no more complications! Man, when they want to keep things quiet they sure do go underground with it!

as he was released from hospital 48 hours ago and reportedly has been treated/diagnosed for a minor haemorrhage, I would be frankly amazed if he is anywhere but still in New Zealand at present. I cant imagine he'd be allowed to take a trip of, what, 7-8,000 miles on a plane THAT quick.

Hey doc.



I'm probably the biggest honest to goodness stones fan in the world, how the hell do you get so close to them?

Keith might have to face head surgery?I'm sure he'll be ready for the start of the european tour.
