Whiskey, wisdom and the weight of legends
The 1988 interview with Keith Richards is fascinating because it captures the iconic guitarist at a pivotal moment, reflecting candidly on his first solo album Talk Is Cheap while still deeply tethered to the mythos of the Rolling Stones. There’s a rare blend of self-deprecation, dry wit, and raw honesty as Richards opens up about artistic independence, personal battles, and the chemistry that both binds and divides legendary rock bands. His charisma is undiminished, his voice is gravel and wisdom, and every sentence feels like a riff pulled straight from a Marlboro-stained notebook of rock history.
