Keith Richards: Satisfaction
£2.80
‘A highly readable portrait of the irresistible millionaire minstrel.’ Independent
‘Highly entertaining . . . Of this latest crop of Stones books, Sandford’s affectionate, warts-and-all portrait of Keith is undoubtedly the best read.’ Charles Spencer, Sunday Telegraph
‘A pungent, air-guitar twanging celebration of one of rock’s true wild men.’ The Times
He’s the shy, half-educated boy from Dartford . . . the ‘elegantly wasted’ junkie who wrote and played the Rolling Stones’ best-known songs . . . the artist formerly known as Wormwood Scrubs’ prisoner 7855 . . . the original Human Riff . . . and, today, the contented family man who continues to be rock’s most indomitable living practitioner.
But who is the real Keith behind the kohl-eyed image? Christopher Sandford’s penetrating and entertaining biography is a hard, fast, sometimes shocking saga of sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll — and of a flawed but wildly creative life.

It doesn’t matter if your’e not a Stones fan. It doesn’t matter if your’e not a Keith fan. This is still fascinating reading. It is a good book and a very informative and entertaining read.
Well written, well presented, well paced. Very descriptive, reads like fiction. And it gets you to laugh out loud. I really recommend it.

Hugely fun to read even if you don’t like the rolling stones or keith. MR. SANDFORD tracks keith’s life thru the years both culturely and historically. We see Keiths brilliance mapped out against post WWII boomer culture. It’s not just keith but our (I’m a boomer) generation that is shown in this book. Wild fun – extravagance, and damning failure internally. By all means read this book if you like the rolling stones, keith, or are interested in an insightfull look into an age that is slowly fading. Brilliant.

Got this because I thought it was an autobiography. It’s written by an American fan, I skimmed through it,, wasn’t worth the read.
by Dave Jackson
Listened to every RollingStones and Richards album in order they came out as I read this and that made it a fascinating read.
I’ve liked their stuff since I saw them on their first totp appearance but only owned the “some girls” album. It remains my favourite though I’ve discoveredwhole albums I Love or hate.
Similiary with Richards’ qualities.Theres a lot of unflattering stuff to get through to find the good.
