Life
Autor Keith Richards, James Foxen Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 mai 2011
With The Rolling Stones, Keith Richards created the songs that roused the world, and he lived the original rock and roll life.
Now, at last, the man himself tells his story of life in the crossfire hurricane. Listening obsessively to Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters records, learning guitar and forming a band with Mick Jagger and Brian Jones. The Rolling Stones's first fame and the notorious drug busts that led to his enduring image as an outlaw folk hero. Creating immortal riffs like the ones in "Jumping Jack Flash" and "Honky Tonk Women." His relationship with Anita Pallenberg and the death of Brian Jones. Tax exile in France, wildfire tours of the U.S., isolation and addiction. Falling in love with Patti Hansen. Estrangement from Jagger and subsequent reconciliation. Marriage, family, solo albums and Xpensive Winos, and the road that goes on forever.
With his trademark disarming honesty, Keith Richard brings us the story of a life we have all longed to know more of, unfettered, fearless, and true.

Recenzii
"[A]
high-def,
high-velocity
portrait
of
the
era
when
rock
'n'
roll
came
of
age,
a
raw
report
from
deep
inside
the
counterculture
maelstrom
of
how
that
music
swept
like
a
tsunami
over
Britain
and
the
United
States....Mr.
Richards
has
found
a
way
to
channel
to
the
reader
his
own
avidity,
his
own
deep
soul
hunger
for
music
and
to
make
us
feel
the
connections
that
bind
one
generation
of
musicians
to
another.
Along
the
way
he
even
manages
to
communicate
something
of
that
magic,
electromagnetic
experience
of
playing
on
stage
with
his
mates,
be
it
in
a
little
club
or
a
huge
stadium."—Michiko
Kakutani,
