Stone Me: The Wit and Wisdom of Keith Richards

In his own words-from rock's most legendary bad boy.

Rock 'n' roll legend and Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards has quite a few things to say: about Mick Jagger, the Stones, sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll, and life itself. Sample these nuggets of wit and wisdom chipped from the tablets of Stone:

On etiquette "I've never turned blue in someone else's bathroom. I consider that the height of bad manners."

On Mick Jagger "My aim is always to try to introduce a bit of levity into his life."

On the police "There was a knock on our dressing-room door. Our manager shouted, 'Keith Ron The Police are here ' Oh, man, we panicked, flushed everything down the john. Then the door opened and it was Stewart Copeland and Sting."

On family "My father. I snorted my father. He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow."

On dental care "Miraculously, due to abstinence and prayer, my teeth grew back."
