(0.00 / 0 votes)Life's a funny thing, you know.
But I've always thought 30 was about it.
Beyond that would be
horrible to be alive.
Until I got to be 31.
Then, "Why, I ain't so shabby," you know.
[laughs]
"I'll hang in a while."
As you go along, you realize that
this whole concept of growing up is...
You're not grown up until the day
they put you six feet under.
["Blue and Lonesome" playing]
I'm blue and lonesome
As a man can be
I'm blue and lonesome
Whoa-oh
As a man can be
You don't get bluer than that.
Man, that's bad stuff.
I don't have headaches over myself
[Richards] The power of the blues
was a mind blower.
My love is gone away from me
Anybody who could make a sound like that
is all right with me.
[chuckles] You know what I mean?
For me, music is like
the center of everything.
It's something that binds people together
through centuries, through millennium.
It's undefinable.
And nobody's ever
going to have the answer to it,
but it's great fun exploring.
[Richards chuckles]
-Anthony, how are you?
-How are you?
-[Richards] Cool, man.
-Once again.
Once more into the breach.
[Richards] How you been, Anthony?
-I'm very well, thank you.
-Yeah.
So, Keith, I've been enjoying
your new music.
Why don't you tell me a little bit
about getting it going?
You know, what made you
decide to jump back in?
I've been thinking about that.
You know,
I think it coincided with the fact
that I was doing the book, you know...
-Second only to the Bible.
-[both chuckle]
You know...
And The Stones had one of their...
where they suddenly go into hibernation
for about five years.
'Cause we... The Stones had been
working a lot until about 2007.
And I was kind of itching
to get back in the studio.
I love recording, you see.
Any studio,
I feel totally at home there.
Everywhere else, you know, is, you know...
there's the bags.
[Steve Jordan] Should we get
another mic in there?
-Or should we just move the ribbon closer?
-[Richards] No, listen...
Play a couple things.
[guitar playing]
That's better, right?
[Richards] And the next thing I know,
Steve Jordan came to me, and he said,
"How about just the two of us
go in the studio,
you know, just you and me,
and we'll cut a couple of tracks?
Just, you know, see what happens."
[Jordan] He said something
and it was kind of shocking.
And I asked him
never to say that again.
He said, "Well, you know,
I've done all of this...
and now the book and everything."
He hadn't been playing.
And he was like, "You know, maybe
I should, like, retire," kinda thing.
-Yeah.
-At which I completely freaked out.
[laughing] I said,
"What are you talking about?"
I was talking in my sleep.
I said,
"What are you talking about?"
[man 1] Can you get it? Yeah.
[man 2] Yep.
[man 1] Yeah, it's a little boomy.
[man 2] Uh-huh.
[Tom Waits] Musically, what I noticed
about Keith, is he's really big on detail.
And you have to be if you're...
an archeologist and you're,
you know...
You insist on locality data, you know.
Not only where something came from,
but what are the principles
and the properties of it.
And he...
He's like a... like a London cabbie
who has The Knowledge.
-[man] Yeah, yeah.
-Only he has that in music, you know.
[Richards] I realized,
as I was doing this stuff,
how much steeped I am
in American folk music,
in jazz and blues.
That's the stuff that America
has given the rest of the world.
You know, far bigger than H-bombs.
[chuckles]
I love my sugar
But I love my honey, too
I'm a greedy motherf***er
And I don't know what to do
