With the Rolling Stones, Keith Richards crafted the riffs, lyrics, and songs that energized the world, embodying the original rock and roll lifestyle for over four decades. Now, he shares his story of life in the crossfire hurricane. It begins with his childhood in post-war Kent, where he obsessively listened to Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters. He learned guitar and formed a band with Mick Jagger and Brian Jones, leading to the band's rise as a notorious bad-boy group. The infamous Redlands drug bust marked a turning point, solidifying his image as an outlaw and folk hero. He created iconic riffs in songs like 'Jumping Jack Flash' and 'Street Fighting Man,' while navigating love with Anita Pallenberg and the tragic death of Brian Jones. His journey included tax exile in France, wild tours of the US, and the creation of albums like 'Exile on Main Street' and 'Some Girls.' As fame grew, so did isolation and addiction, but he found love again with Patti Hansen. His relationship with Mick Jagger saw both estrangement and reconciliation. With solo albums and performances with his band the Xpensive Winos, Richards reflects on marriage, family, and an enduring journey, sharing his life story with the trademark honesty that defines him.

Here, accompanied by dozens of unique photographs, are the very best of Victor Bockris's infamous interviews, essays, and observations on the stars of downtown Manhattan in the 1970s and 1980s. The internationally acclaimed biographer Bockris was there as a witness, friend, collaborator, and co-conspirator. Some of the stars were founding members of Beat or Punk, others were just passing through. But all of them—rockers, rebels, artists, and intellectuals—revealed more to Bockris than they did to any other writer: Allen Ginsberg, Richard Hell, Andy Warhol, Robert Mapplethorpe, Debbie Harry, William Burroughs, Patti Smith, Marianne Faithfull, Keith Richards, Terry Southern, Martin Amis, and Susan Sontag. Bockris's conclusion—that Punk owed the Beats a big debt and that the Beats were in turn re-animated by the Punks—is argued from the perspective of someone who was in the thick of it, and who loved every minute of it.
