Life by Keith Richards5/19/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Some say this is the best rock autobiography since Dylan's Chronicles (maybe, who can remember many others?) but it is also a book sorely in need of editing: it is repetitious in parts - and you do wonder if you actually need Keith's recipe for bangers and mash. Comment on that, I guess, makes for less titillation in a review. Yes, he says Mick has a small todger, can be annoying and shallow, is a princess, accepted that knighthood and so on.īut along the way he also pays great tribute (most often in passing) to Jagger as a great blues harmonica player, a gifted lyricist, very funny and so on. Most reviews of this frequently funny, sometimes insightful and too often rambling autobiography - Keith + tape recorder + ghost writer Fox - have concentrated on the obvious: the sniping at Mick Jagger which occurs a little in the first three-quarters but reaches a peak in the final throes where the autobiography/chronological account runs out. ![]()
