“To write a song that is remembered and taken to heart is a connection, a touching of bases. A thread that runs through all of us. A stab to the heart. Sometimes I think songwriting is about tightening the heartstrings as much as possible without bringing on a heart attack.” — Keith Richards, Life

That’s it, I’m going to the library this week to look for this book. And I’m not even a fan of the Stones.

I was on the waiting list for months at my local library waiting for Richards’ book. It was worth the wait.
When I was an old teen/young man, I was a big Stones fan. There was one month when I listened to “Gimme Shelter” every day. It was just a shot away.

I loved The Police. “Don’t stand, don’t stand so, don’t stand so close to me . . .”

That brings back some mems. Me and the gang at the New Wave clubs, tricked out in our clothes and doos, drinking blind and dancing wild.
I am so glad I had the sense to be young when I was young.

I didn’t, which may be what’s happened to my life.
