With the Rolling Stones, Keith Richards crafted iconic riffs, lyrics, and songs that captivated the world, embodying the essence of rock and roll for over four decades. Now, he shares his extraordinary journey through life in the crossfire hurricane. From his childhood in post-war Kent, where he obsessively listened to Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters, to learning guitar and forming a band with Mick Jagger and Brian Jones, Richards recounts the band's rise to fame as a notorious bad-boy group. He reflects on the infamous Redlands drug bust and the confrontations with a wary establishment that solidified his image as an outlaw and folk hero. The creation of timeless riffs in tracks like "Jumping Jack Flash" and "Honky Tonk Women," his passionate relationship with Anita Pallenberg, and the tragic death of Brian Jones are pivotal moments in his narrative. He discusses tax exile in France, tumultuous tours of the U.S., and landmark albums like "Exile on Main Street." As fame brought isolation and addiction, he found love with Patti Hansen, navigated estrangement from Jagger, and later reconciled. With disarming honesty, Richards delivers an essential life story that resonates deeply with the essence of our times.
