Seen it all, done it all, and survived

By Tom Wright

HOLLYWOOD,CA (Hollywood Today) 2/5/10 — “The trick isn’t just to survive. The trick is to live with yourself forever” said Keith Richards in “Pirates of the Caribbean 3.”

Hats off To Captain Keith who has at least one more trick up his sleeve. Giving Johnny Depp something to think about a portrait edged in stone and is doing a biopic about the legendary guitarist.

Richards said  “If you don`t know the blues… there`s no point in picking up the guitar and playing rock and roll or any other form of popular music”.

Captain Keith Richards with Sir Mich Jagger have been at the helm together of the Rolling Stones juggernaut starting from1962.

“It`s great to be here. It`s great to be anywhere”.

“If you want to live a long life, join the Rolling Stones”.  said Keith Richards

Formed in 1962, The Rolling Stones have become one of the world’s most recognized and enduring bands

Some of our fave Keith quotes:

  Nobody stops growing, otherwise there`s no point on doing the trip in the first place.

  If you want to live a long life, join the Rolling Stones.

  How long can we go on? Forever. We`ll let you know when we keel over

  I`m timeless now, I`m beyond time.

  I should be interviewing you. You`ve never known a world without the Rolling Stones. For you, there has always been the sun and the moon and the Rolling Stones. And me? I`ve known Mick Jagger since before rock & roll.

It's great to be here

  There are a lot of kids out there, leaping around onstage now, making pots of money, who have never known a world without the Rolling Stones. For me that`s a weird feeling, because I remember a world without rock and roll, never mind the Rolling Stones.

  There`s no substitute for live work to keep a band together.

  I only get ill when I give up drugs.

  It`s good to be anywhere.

  To me, as long as we`ve known each other, I`ve always thought Mick`s most brilliant thing was that he could work in an area two foot square and give a very exciting performance.

  It`s great to be here. It`s great to be anywhere.

  To make a rock`n`roll record, technology is the least important thing.

  I`ve never had a problem with drugs. I`ve had problems with the police.
