Life by Keith Richards
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In Life, Keith puts to rest the crazy stories of him getting his blood exchanged and snorting his father’s ashes.

I like Keith’s plain-spokenness. He doesn’t merely call a spade a spade, he calls it a sh** shovel. His most memorable comment was calling the late Hugh Hefner a pimp.

Toward the end of his autobiography, Keith talks about being a voracious reader: his favorite subject is naval history. He also talks about cooking traditional English fare: he even offers a recipe for bangers and mash! This is not the image of Keith Richards that the media has crafted.

Keith and Patti Hansen have now been married for 39 years: they will celebrate forty years of marriage on December 18, 2023 (also Keith’s 80th birthday).

Altogether, an entertaining read!
