Keith Richards writes Autobiography/ Keith Richards schreibt Autobiographie

THE ROLLING STONES rocker KEITH RICHARDS is writing an autobiography about his time in the band and his turbulent relationships with drugs and alcohol. The guitarist, 63 - who once claimed to have snorted a combination of cocaine and his father's ashes - will reveal all about his wild life in the frank memoirs. A source says, "Keith is working on the book at the moment with his old friend, bestselling White Mischief author James Fox... It's a dream team."

Re: Richards writes Autobiography

ROLLING PAPERS
RICHARDS SEEKING $5M FOR MEMOIR
By KEITH J. KELLY

May 17, 2007 -- Keith Richards, the Rolling Stones co-founder and lead guitarist,
will soon be touring publishing houses to score a little satisfaction –
and cart away a $5 million-plus deal for his autobiography.

Richards' London-based agent Ed Victor confirmed the plans to meet
with major publishers in New York this summer. "It's not going to happen until July," Victor said, when reached in London. "It's way too early to talk about it."

But at least one publishing source said that Victor has begun planting the seed with publishing bigs on this side of the pond. "He's looking for at least $5 million," said one top publishing executive. "[Richards] wants to make more than Eric Clapton."

Clapton was believed to have received just under $5 million for the world rights to "Clapton: The Autobiography," which is slated to hit in October with a massive 300,000 first printing from Doubleday.

Victor represented Clapton in that deal as well.
Victor calls a Richards autobiography potentially "the greatest rock 'n' roll book of all time."
In the early 1980s, Mick Jagger snagged a $1.6 million advance from Bantam for his life story, but returned it several years later.

"We were told he said he couldn't remember enough to do a book," said Stuart Applebaum, a spokesman for Random House Inc., which also owns Bantam.
Victor confirmed earlier reports in the British press that James Fox is Richards' collaborator.
"He's known Keith for 30 years," said Victor, which should insure against a Jagger-like memory lapse. mailto:keith.kelly@nypost.com

Re: Richards writes Autobiography

Angeblich ein erster Auszug aus Keith' Autobiographie - ich finde nicht, dass es sich nach Keith anhört... aber lest selbst:

This new year of the Exile on Main Street sessions, 1972, opened upon us in an entirely different shape for the Rolling Stones. We were no longer alone. At our side stood two mighty allies. Gram Parsons and Dr. John were, though for different reasons, irrevocably engaged to provide rootsy Americana in the closest concert with the band. This combination made final recording certain unless it broke in pieces under the weight, or unless some entirely new strain of heroin appeared in Villefranche-sur-Mer. There was indeed a new strain of heroin for which half the band was avidly groping. As it turned out, it was into our already collapsing veins that the blessing of the Burma Brown was destined to fall. A fearful and bloody struggle lay before us and we could not foresee its course, but injection was sure.

The Stones collective had now to face the onslaught of recording "Happy." This had been long prepared, and fell upon Charlie Watts' dignity, if such it could be called, with cruel severity. At no moment could it be conceived that I might be providing vocal duties, but heavy forfeits had to be paid for the privilege, in Nice and other nearby encampments. Jagger, in mortal grip of his newlywed status, suffered only from the marital assault by the diversion of multiple Anglo-American energies in the form of strippers. Watts and I had a long period of torturing conflicts before us which could not affect the final issue but were hard for the band to endure. In the end, producer Jimmy Miller handled percussion duties. To us in the band it seemed that everything was growing worse... although on reflection we knew that the album was done.

Sat.1 Videotext vom 27.07.2007

Ein großes Tauziehen hat im Verlagswesen um die Autobiografie von Rolling Stones"-Gitarrist Keith Richards eingesetzt. Medienberichten zufolge soll das höchste Gebot für die Veröffentlichungsrechte derzeit bei knapp sieben Millionen Dollar liegen. Welcher Verlag das Rennen machen wird, ist noch nicht entschieden.
Keith will in seiner Biografie übrigens einige brisante Details aus seinen wilden Jahren mit den Stones preisgeben.

Re: Keith schreibt Autobiographie


Good grief, here's Keef

Sean O'Hagan
Sunday July 29, 2007
The Observer


The old line that goes 'If you remember the Sixties, you weren't there' takes on a whole new resonance this week with the news that the bidding war for Keith Richards' autobiography has topped the £3 million mark. In Keith's case, though, the Seventies and a good portion of the Eighties may also be a trifle hazy, so dogged was his pursuit of oblivion of one kind or another back then.

It's that pursuit, of course, that has helped make Keith the rock legend he is, and upped the ante in the bidding stakes. The elegantly wasted years have already been chronicled extensively in several biographies and in countless cut and paste snapshots of the Rolling Stones, but that has not stopped HarperCollins and Little, Brown going head to head for a book that will be ghost-written by Keith's 'friend', James Fox - alas not the same James Fox who starred in the acid-fuelled Sixties film, Performance, alongside Mick Jagger and Keith's former squeeze, Anita Pallenberg. Now there's a book I'd like to read.
Anyone expecting an impressionistic masterpiece a la Bob Dylan's Chronicles, then, will probably be disappointed, though impressionist it will undoubtedly be. There's the drugs, the drug busts, the friends who died from drugs (Brian Jones, Gram Parsons). There's Redlands, Altamont and Toronto, and a cast of characters that includes Spanish Tony (Keef's one-time dealer) and Sir William Rees-Mogg (his unlikely champion) as well as the Ronettes and, lest we forget, the Mounties. There's Sir Mick, and their love-hate relationship, as well as 'Honest' Ron Wood and Charlie Watts, the greatest drummer and sharpest-dressed in rock'n'roll.

There's also that long stretch in the middle, though, when Keith, and by extension the Stones, were out to lunch. And, of course, that recent run-in with the coconut tree as well as the confession, since disputed, that he snorted his dad's ashes. How can it fail to be a right rollicking read?

What will he call it, though? 'Drugs and Drugs and Rock and Roll'? 'When Did You Last Sniff Your Father?' How about 'No Stone Unturned'? Or, better still, 'No Turn Unstoned'.
