Keith was in Connecticut February 10 and 11....Freezing with lots of snow. Usually at this time of year he is in the warm islands.

Things are lost in translation in that interview. The "Jamaican pad" is usually available to rent when Keith is not there. Currently renting at about $6,000 a night. Comes with a chef, butlers, five bee hives, fantastic view.

Keith has usually had more than one apartment at a time in Manhattan, sometimes a hotel suite plus an apartment. In case he needs to escape a party and relocate on very short notice.

I saw Santana open for the Stones in San Diego at Qualcomm Stadium Feb.3, 1998. Dramatic show because it was during a near hurricane rain storm which almost blew the huge umbrella away from the small stage. Charlie's cymbals blew over. Mick: "Charlie's amazing flying cymbals routine..." Gimme Shelter meant so much. I was lucky to be sitting under an underhang, I didn't ge

Octavian for eighth child. Octavia Spencer starred in Mick's film "Get On Up" and she tells the press she regrets not having kids. They might be close, Mick was on the set often.

I enjoyed Joel Selvin's new book Altamont. Things I've never heard before. Gram Parsons is in it. I didn't know the Flying Burrito Brothers played Altamont. Much of the crowd was on LSD cut with strychnine and speed, which makes one want to be naked. That explains the front row. Jagger's friend Miss Pamela came up from Hollywood thinking Altamont would be another Woodstock but

Swiss, I just spoke to Mud Above who knows Keith. She said that now would be a good time to do a telephone interview because he is promoting a record plus Exhibitionism. Call his office. Mud said he is in Redlands tonight.

The record "Angie" was played at Angela's wedding. I don't remember there being a live band. It was a beautiful day in England, the wedding was outdoors. Angela held a big bouquet of white flowers as Keith walked her down a garden aisle.

The song "Angie" was played at Angela's wedding to her first husband, although the lyrics don't quite fit a wedding.

The writing on the scarf I saw was Arabic not Sanskrit but he probably does have Hindu scarves too. Yes he did show a blade! He was flipping an open jack knife in the air like an adept juggler. Then he took a shot gun down from over the doorway and he cocked it. Quite a show. No Jack Daniels, only Heineken and Jamaican smoke that knocked me over with one puff as I listened to him strum his cracke

I don't think Keith got his scarf style from George Harrison, whose style came from India. When I met Keith there was a huge photo hanging over his fireplace of Keith in a black head scarf which reminded me of Omar Sharif in Lawrence of Arabia. Photo by Annie Leibovitz. Keith's white and red scarves seem more Islamic than Hindu. He probably purchased his first scarves in the markets of

Keith and Johnny usually get together if they happen to be in the same town. When the Stones rehearsed in Los Angeles Johnny and Amber met Keith in a Hollywood restaurant. By the way, Keith took Johnny's side in the divorce. I know that Keith read detailed reports of Amber's domestic abuse charges and he took Johnny's side because the police scrutinized both Amber and the house and

At least Keith reveals his secret romance only in his songs. First line of Crosseyed Heart: "I love my sugar but I love my honey too"... Mick assumed she was on the pill because of her schedule of performances. Ballet dancers are instructed to avoid pregnancy.

No, I wasn't a dealer. I was a naïve young girl. I did meet Sessler & Sons. Fred declared "I've been in the cocaine business 15 years!" I thought that was incredibly unusual but what did I know, I was a naïve young girl. I always thought "no virgin priest" was a continuation of the bit at the start of "Send It To Me" about religion.

That's about all I can contribute to this thread. Mick Taylor is the only Stone I haven't met. Besides Brian Jones and Ian Stewart. I think Keith's guitar is prominent in key points of the song for a reason.

Keith is more involved with this song than has been reported. This is how close Keith and Mick were and still are. Mick was covering for a very shy Keith when he said that he wrote the lyrics which he considered "very gentle and loving about friendships in the band." Actually Keith was the one who wrote the lyrics about "standing in the doorway waiting for a friend, someone to prot

Mick still thinks of Keith as being as shy as he was when they were children, in need of encouragement when speaking to strangers. When I met Keith's mother Doris she told me exactly that: "Keith was so shy as a kid that Mick had to take him by the hand!"

The man in the Corbis photo looks exactly like Gary Schultz who was an assistant for Keith in the 1980's. Gary is credited on a few albums as being on the crew with Chuch Magee and Johnny Starbuck. He lived with Keith, doing odd jobs like washing dishes, distributing party drugs, calling the limousine. Keith was splitting his time between three apartments in NYC and a couple of mansions outs

Linda Lawrence Leitch was a serious girlfriend of Brian Jones. She should write a book. Linda was 15 in 1962 when she met Brian, age 20. She and some friends had gone to see the Stones play the Ricky Tick Club in her hometown of Windsor. She is mother to Brian's son Julian. He had already fathered at least two children by the time Julian was born. In 1970 Linda married singer Donovan Leitch,
