Man, not to be too fucking trad here but whether or not he actually snorted his dad's fucking ashes, Keith Richards has got to be like the #1 gnarliest, most unfuckwithable dude in rock/music history, a serious freak of nature/genius, one of those people who has clearly been chosen by some higher power to live out some kind of unfathomable, and YES, LOST-esque mission amongst us normal-ish mortals - and now he is growing a fucking shitty moustache what the fuck!??  HOLY SHIT LOOK AT THIS DUDE

Like I needed an excuse to post more 'amazing' late-period Stones -

YES, two awesome Keef-fronted tracks, "Before They Make Me Run" is so poignant and real and quavering and liberatory and about-Gram-Parsons-sad (and sets up "Beast of Burden" for like the best 1-2 punch in their whole catalog on the awesome SOME GIRLS), and "Losing My Touch" is, YES, one of the bonus tracks from the recent "Forty Licks" greatest hits comp, and YES he sounds radly ancient, weary, and luxuriously wistful, like a Nick Cave you can actually relate to our something??  These are great!!!
