Truth to Power

WTF? Keith Richards…sober?

Can rock’n’roll exist with a sober Keith Richards?

April Fool’s Day has come early. As a flock of flying pigs sped across the London skyline last night, the Sun revealed that Keith Richards has given up drinking. Yes, you heard right: the Human Laboratory, grizzled Glimmer Twin and rock’n’roll’s own boozy Beelzebub is off the pop.

Is this a sick joke devised by the same mung-bean-munching advocates of health and safety who robbed musicians of the right to smoke in the workplace? Apparently not. Shocked by the public disintegration of his bandmate Ronnie Wood, the 66-year-old has, so we’re told, been teetotal for the last four months. </em>

Way to go, Ronnie…grr!
