15 Things I learned from reading Life by Keith Richards

1. Keith's mother, Doris, had a long time fling with the man who would become his stepfather. 2. Richards did a lot of heroin but it didn't affect him because he knew when to stop and only used high quality smack. 3. The Rolling Stones band watched Mick Jagger's butt a lot. 4. Mick Jagger has a "tiny todger." 5. Keef might have had a homosexual encounter with Gram Parsons ("the only guy I ever slept with") but, then again, he may have been referring to actual sleep. 6. Mick Jagger is a saint for putting up with Richards for all those years. 7. Richards' ex-wife, Anita Pallenberg, hooked up with three of the Rolling Stones members (Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Brian Jones). 8. Richards' got even with Jagger by hooking up with Marianne Faithful ("while you were missing it, I was kissing it") 9. Keef didn't like that Jagger was playing Stones' songs with another band but it was OK for him to do the same with ...

Sammy Hagar Red book review: 28 Things I learned from reading Red

His father was a drunk who would go on drunken binges and not be around for extended periods of time. He got married in 1968 and had his first child in 1970. Sammy says that he dreamed that aliens downloaded the information from his brain and uploaded information to his brain. In interviews, he now says that it really happened. He is fascinated that when you take the number 137, add 7 + 3 and get 10, then add 1 you get 11. Then the 11 is 1 + 1 = 2. Sammy played with various California bands like Skinny, the Fabulous Castillas, Justice Brothers, and Dust Cloud before joining Montrose. Hagar and his wife Betsy got by on welfare and food stamps while getting his music career started. If it were not for the public assistance they received, he probably would not have been able to pursue his dreams. The next time someone argues that they should get rid of welfare, tell them that welfare is indirectly responsible for “Three Lock Box” and see what they come back with. After Hagar ...

Sammy Hagar Red book review: Michael Anthony is bitter

The Foreword was written by Michael Anthony who comes off as a very bitter man. It is interesting reading about the formation of the band from Anthony’s perspective. He writes about the early Van Halen days but does not mention David Lee Roth until he discusses his departure. Even then, he refers to him only by his last name. Anthony then moves straight into Sammy Hagar joining the band. He writes that Hagar took Van Halen “to a new level” which seems questionable. The Sammy Hagar version of Van Halen is great but Van Halen’s first album is one of the top rock albums of all time. All the other DLR Van Halen albums have great songs on them and compare favorably to any of the Van Hagar albums. Hagar is a better singer and the music did evolve with the use of more acoustic guitar and keyboards but there simply was not a “new level” to be reached after their first album. That is not a criticism of Hagar. Van Halen I was a masterpiece that could not be topped. If Hagar was in the ...

Keith Richards – Life Review

Keith (Keef) Richards is the riff master. His 547-page memoir (written with James Fox) reads like a series of guitar riffs with thoughts meandering from one to the next. The first third of the book is the best part. Keith Richards revisits his childhood and the formation of the Rolling Stones with lots of detail. I really couldn't put the book down. Here are the highlights: Childhood His mother, Doris, was very important to him. He spends a lot of time in the book on his childhood. He worships his mother, Doris, who bought him his first guitar. She ends up helping raise his first daughter. He didn't do well in school but managed to get into an art school where he could spend time focusing on the guitar. Mick Jagger, who lives a few blocks away and is prosperous enough to actually buy a few records, and Keith love the blues. The two form a bond: "We both knew we were in a process of learning, and it was something you wanted to learn and it was ten times better tha...
