In what was undoubtedly a huge relief for the makers of Jack Daniels, Keith Richards told Rolling Stone magazine that the rumors regarding his recent breakup with booze are false…:
The rumors of my sobriety are greatly exaggerated. And we’ll leave it at that.
I don’t know about you but, I’m pretty sure booze is what’s keeping Keef so well preserved. If Keef gave up the hooch, he would completely disintegrate. And he knows it. Good call Keef. Lucky for you, Jack is always there take you back…
Keith Richards hasn’t touched a drop of alcohol for over four months, according to a source close to the 67 year old Rolling Stone. Recently Courtney Love said she wanted to compare her liver to Richards as they live “similar lifestyles”. And while that request would be enough for anyone but me to stop boozing, apparently it was band mate Ron Wood’s downwards trip down the hooch-hall-of-shame that caused Keef to stop calling his best friend, Jack Daniels.
More plus photos of Ronnie “I swear I don’t drink anymore” Wood leaving two different bars in London last weekend via Holy Moly.
If you read this blog on a regular basis, you know I love my booze. However, if Mick Jagger told me I couldn’t play guitar for The Rolling Stones unless I peel my pie-hole off the nectar of the Gods, I’d never pick up a guitar bottle again. Lucky for me, my name isn’t Ron Wood.
Anyway, the latest 70’s Rock Band drama is that The Rolling Stones may tour in 2010 without 62 year old guitarist Ron Wood, unless he stops boozing and beating up Russian prostitutes. Ron Wood has been a Stone since 1975 and has been acting like the next celluloid victim of Dr. Drew Pinsky after he dumped his wife last year. The divorce will end up costing Wood over $17 million.
Cherrybomb is a girl and, I’m strictly (Hello, Sailor!) dickly. With that said (and despite the fact that I’m no expert on the subject), I’m completely sure there ain’t no such thing as pussy worth sticking that costs $17,000,000. True story.
Here’s Quentin Tarantino on stage at the Spike TV Scream Awards. Q was on hand to present the Scream Mastermind Lifetime Acheivement Award to George Romero. Anyway, Tarantino’s ensemble made me worry that he might be under some sort of mind-control by a certain Steven Seagal. Which I hope is not a true story.
The Dynamics, Seven Nation Army, originally released on 7′ in 2006. For JB.
The Dynamics are from Lyon, France. You can find this White Stripes cover, as well as dubbed out versions of Miss You by The Rolling Stones and Whole Lotta Love on The Dynamics2008 release, Version Excursions.
So, I lied in that last post. I can’t stay away from you. And hangover or not, I can’t stop thinking about you. Besides, typing the words Keith Richards is the new face for Louis Vuittonis hilarious. Mostly because the words Keith Richards and new face are oxymoron’s. Anyways, the new ad campaign for the luxe brand was shot by Annie Leibovitz. And lots of lens diffusion. And what’s with the teacup? Where are the empty bottles of Bourbon and ashtrays full of cigarette butts? Am I to believe that Keith Richards is reading Baudelaire and drinking tea at 3:00am with his expensive luggage?

If boozing was an olympic event, we would be on a box of Wheaties. If this all sounds familiar to you (and your mother), welcome home.
