Scorsese Missed Out On Filming Richards Arrest


Director Martin Scorsese was left disappointed he didn't manage to film police arresting Rolling Stones star Keith Richards for the DVD edition of his new rockumentary Shine A Light. Scorsese was flying to Los Angeles from the Berlin Film Festival in Germany, where the concert movie premiered in February, and agreed to drop the guitarist off en route in Newark, New Jersey. Police met the rocker at the airport, where Richards claims he was arrested over a passport mix up - and Scorsese was left watching the saga without being able to film the legend's exchange with airport cops. Richards says, "I got collared by the cops and dragged off. Something about the numbers in my passport, but I think it had to do with supervisors wanting to meet me. Martin saw me physically being arrested. He's sorry he didn't get that scene."

yeah, he mentioned that in one of the interviews that's been posted recently -
the one in Rolling Stone, maybe? there have been so many, it's hard to keep track

I bet Mick would have had his camera out in no time - c'mon Marty, 's up?

I thought Keith has duel citizenship? Is his main residence in Connecticut?

as far as i know Keith has permanent-resident status in the US, not citizenship.
anyway saying he was "arrested" is probably an exaggeration -
it sounds more like he was bundled off to take care of some immigration-bureau detail.

might have meant "arrest" in the most general sense #1:

1 a: to bring to a stop <sickness arrested his activities>
b: check, slow
c: to make inactive <an arrested tumor>

2: seize, capture; specifically : to take or keep in custody by authority of law

3: to catch suddenly and engagingly <arrest attention>


IORR............but I like it!

Gee, I hope that there are no Stones fans in SWAT team...

translation: something wasn't copacetic with my passport so they pulled me aside.

don't forget he's use to getting the royal treatment...so anytime there
might be a simple delay...it's a big deal.

Wonder if this aint the proper thread to post Winos' Gimme Shelter in
