I heard on the radio this morning that Keith Richards has now been clean and sober for four months. He said he feels kinda' like Mickey Mouse, which is among the most coherent sentences I've ever heard him speak. Richards, the musician best known and envied for being elegantly wasted for over 40 years, outlived two of his doctors who told him to lay off the booze and drugs, not that it should be recommended to anyone.

It's not often that a person in that lifestyle lives for long. I hope he can keep on rockin' until he's 90.
