Well, listen to The Last Time, after all that's what it is supposed to plagiarise. Nonsense.

".. a string loop based on the orchestral arrangement of "The Last Time"

Indeed.At the time Keef blamed "the bread heads".
The very same "bread heads" that Keef employs to look after his bread.

Let's be honest here, though. All of the 'Folk Hero'/'Cor look at all the drugs he takes' stuff aside, Keith Richards is a total fùcking idiot, isn't he?

He's brilliant, imo. An example to all.

As a child, he once sang for the Queen, you know.

Quite. In fact, he's more than ace and certainly is right up there for 'the world's greatest living Englishman' title.

You have to respect a man who has done that much living.

Funny way to spell 'heroin' imo.

No. He's a cock imo. There's nothing particularly admirable about a man like that. Take away the fame and he'd be living under a bridge somewhere smelling of meths and no-one would admire him.

You could say that about anyone though, albeit perhaps replacing "fame" with "money".

Well,that's the thing.If he didn't have money (ie affording the best gear) he'd be a dead.

Quite a decent guitarer, mind.

Yeah, but he *has* got it so it's good to admire him, imo.

Another good review - this time from the irreproachable (although somewhat biased) Mr Hepworth.

I saw a picture of me recently from 1985, wearing a Born In The USA tour sleeveless t-shirt and a red bandana, so this line really makes me chuckle. “Looking back at those pictures now,” he reflects, “I think I look simply . . . gay.”

The press seem to be universally supportive, don't they? Actually, all the attention is really pissing me off now. It started about 10 years ago when people began to acknowledge him as a bit of a legend, but now everyone is jumping on the fawning bus.

They can all fúck off. They know nothing of Bruce. Some of us have put the hard yards in over the years. #likedthembeforetheywerecool

It's OK. I understand. Rest assured I won't be jumping on the bandwagon. I still think he's...y'know..OK-ish. :thumbup:

I want to see the picture of a 20 year-old you with a bandana on, though. :hehe:

You would have played "Atlantic City", I suppose?

I saw this myself recently, think it was in a piece in the Sunday Times about his book. Didn't read the whole thing but noticed the "gay" comment.

Surprised the touchy queens didn't start screaming about this comment.

It's utterly harmless of course but when did such a criteria bother poofs about making a mountain out of a molehill.

Mother of God, have these people no shame?

I was in a club once in the 80s and they played a 'dance remix' of Dancing In The Dark. Now I hate Dancing In The Dark almost as much as Bruce, who was persuaded by CBS to grant them a commercial hit single, but a 'dance remix'? I was almost physically sick.

Yes, I thought that. I kind of supposed that no one could possibly imagine that Bruce could use the term pejoratively.

Indeed, did he not pull a gig recently because there was no bog for the freaks or something?

He is clearly in touch with his minority sensibilities.

****e mind you (personal opinion).

He meant "happy, cheerful", do you mean?
