Keith Richards: “Cheese is very wrong.”

( – promoted by buhdydharma )

I just wanted to alert you all to a wonderful, hilarious interview with Keith Richards, in, of all places, GQ. Read the whole thing, because he’s his usual brilliant, irascible self; but I want to highlight what is my oddly favorite section:

Like your immune system-legendary.

It’s above average, yes.

That’s a fact of medical science?

Yes. They want it so they can study it and figure out how to make other people much better. [laughs] I mean, I eat everything wrong. I shove terrible things inside me.

Yet you won’t eat cheese.

No! Cheese is very wrong.

And then there’s this:

Why do you think some people live and some die?

Lack of breath?

    this was great. Thanks.  I needed some wisdom today, used up all I had.

    I ‘ve probably posted this before , but it’s a great lesson in humility.  Chuck Berry teaching Keith how to play ‘Oh Carol’, correctly.

    funny imitation of Richards .. falling out of trees, tripping over himself, mangling the Queen’s English.

    It’s fracking hilarious.

    I like cheese.

  1. i love cheese. but here’s the thing. my first husband: hated cheese. my hubby-to-be, a dutchman, hates cheese.

    what are the chances? two men who hate cheese.

    now, there’s something wrong with that!
