I didn't agree with him on, well probably anything, but I sure did love his music. Rest in peace sir. To every season.

 

[DrEntropy]

The music was all I cared about.

Oh man

Ditto. He definitely did some great musical work in his life and the world will forever be a better place for that. IMHO.

 

[DNK]

probably the one thing that will haunt him is the fact he didn't reconcile with the rest of SNY

@DrEntropy Note that I didn't see you had already posted about this so I merged my thread with yours.

I read his biography years ago and he had some serious addiction issues even by rock star standards - a little surprised he lasted as long as he did, but, agreed with all before great music.

I remember there was some controversy when in th e1990s he received a liver transplant. The controversy was because he received the transplant, despite his history of drug and alcohol use, ahead of others, some believed only because of his celebrity status.

Loved his music, which is rare for me and music of that era.

There was a comment (elsewhere) that he outlived his liver by 20 years.

Sounds about right. (Hey, that would make a good country song: "I just wanna outlive my liver..."

Yet Keith Richards just keeps on going.
Explain that one to me.
