QuoteMartinB What did you expect? A sermon? The book is a great read. Excellent writing, a differnt plane than Woody's. Who cares how much of it is truth? And who knows? You? Certainly not me. No, I didn't expect a sermon, but I did expect more. When someone as prolific as Keith Richards writes his autobiography, which is one of the most-anticipated autobiographies in decades, I think

Keith has embellished and flat-out lied for years. I wanted to like the book, but I don't. Keith is a braggart, trying to act like a tough guy throughout. I find that attitude childish and immature. If you're going to kick someone's ass, quit talking about it and do it. In every "fight" he's ever been in, he ran off and left Spanish Tony or some other hanger-on

QuoteGlam Descendant Yes, a great book of photos by Annie Leibovitz and text by Terry Southern. I believe it's difficult to find a copy that's not in need of rebinding though, and I think it was never released in hardback (I may be wrong about that). Indeed. Mine fell apart as soon as I opened it to scan a picture. I don't care though.

Yes. There are two. One is a big, green paperback with photos by Annie Leibovitz and Christopher Simon-Sykes. Then Genesis Publications printed their own TOTA '75 book a few years ago. I think it's really expensive, like most of their books. Not sure if any are still available, but you could always check their site. I lucked out and got the paperback book for $5.00 on ebay from Cana

Of course I cannot wait to read this book, but I have also been wondering about the photos that will be in the book. Anyone else curious about this as well? I really, really hope that they don't use stock agency photos that we've seen dozens oftimes in all of the other books. I'd be thrilled if it contained photos from Keith's own collection or photos by photographers and/or

Between his out of control drug abuse & taking Anita from Brian, he really shouldn't be taking shots at anybody. One
