No way he's only 80...

I know. He doesn't look a day over 105!

 

[Sistema1927]

I thought that he was a lot older than that.

All he wants for Christmas is a carton of cigarettes.

The GREAT Rolling Stones.

Here's an excellent New Yorker article on him from 13 years ago when he was a mere 63.

Here's the opening:

In 1973, the editors of New Musical Express put Keith Richards, the principal guitarist and the musical soul of the Rolling Stones, at the top of their annual list of "rock stars most likely to die" within the year. Even by rock standards, Richards was a heroic consumer of heroin, cocaine, mescaline, LSD, peyote, Mandrax, Tuinal, marijuana, bourbon, and other refreshments, and it seemed to all observers that he was living on borrowed time...

In fact, Richards went on and on, stumbling through concerts in a narcotic haze, sleeping through rehearsals, always on the edge of oblivion, and yet, together with Mick Jagger, producing some of the most memorable pop music of the time...

His autobiography is a lotta fun, too.

80? Give him another 25 years or so and he'll be approaching middle age.

 

[Golddollar]

I know. He doesn't look a day over 105!

I hope I'll be carrying on like he does at 105!

Keep it up Mr. K!!!

He has managed to pack 160 years of living on the wild side into just 80 years.

He's taken enough preservatives to last at least another 80.

He's taken enough preservatives to last at least another 80.

When he finally goes, he'll save $ on the funeral -- no embalming fluid needed.

No but they will have to bury him in a clay pit to avoid polluting the surrounding area.

Just saw him at the end of the tv special for the grand old

90th birthday of Willie Nelson, with lots of friends, last night (12/18/23 )
after the MNF game.

The darn show went on til 10:30 at night.

Keith Richards 80?

There's a bet I would have lost!

But I'm glad he made it!
