Summary

Victor Bockris: Keith Richards: The face of rock 'n' roll: biography

According to general opinion, this is the definitive biography of Keith Richards, one of the greatest rock legends, the ultimate rock icon since rock and roll and the world! Because, as they say, when this Bishop of rock and roll, that is, Riffmeister General, or Count Ziggenpuss, Prince of all drug addicts-renegades, Obergruppen-Führer, Living Rif, vampire aristocrat, Keef Riffhards... and whatever they called him, enters the room, rock and roll enters after him through the door! Warhol, Lou Reed, Patti Smith, Velvet Underground and John Cale, and in this fascinating biography he exposes the most intimate details of the tumultuous life of the famous Rolling Stones guitarist. After many years of collecting information from hundreds of books, magazines and conversations with Richards' fellow musicians, lovers, dealers, addicts, managers... the author exposes the mythical stories about Richards's problems with drugs, alcohol, the police, women, money, Mick Jagger... but, of course, also the background to the creation of their biggest hits and how the Rolling Stones went from being a small club band to becoming the world's biggest rock'n'roll attraction.

In a juicy story, Bockris describes how Mick Jagger was an image, and Keith Richards the soul and heart of the Rolling Stones, and how Richards became "the most elegantly wasted human being in the world", i.e. THE FACE OF ROCK'N'ROLL whose spirit and longevity he portrays so well with his guitar skills but also with his licentious lifestyle, scars and wrinkles.

At the end of the book Bockris concludes:

"Richards is more than a rock star. He is a true artist whose face is a map of the second half of the 20th century just as Samuel Beckett's face is a map of his first. His music is one of the keys to modern life and his work will live on as long as people can listen, think and feel." Richards, on the other hand, says about himself and his plans: "I played with Muddy Waters six months before he died, and the guy was just as vital as he was in his youth. And he continued to play until the day he died. For me, that's the most important thing. I'm going to do this until I'm dead."
