Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Thursday, June 18, 2009

The now deceased John Palmer sounded like a guy you'd like to have known as a friend. Quite a character who worked all kinds of jobs to pay for his love of snow skiing. Here's his obituary: "Iconoclast to the last, one of Carbondale's most intriguing personalities, John Palmer, died at his home Monday evening, June 15, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. According to his younger daughter, Aurora, among his last words were: 'I can't believe Keith Richards outlived me.' John was 62."

He's on a chairlift to Heaven.

You'd have to be a Rolling Stones fan to really get the dark humor of the deceased guy's "Keith Richards" remark.

Keith Richards was a non-stop party guy for decades with the Stones. It was always predicted Richards would never make it to the following year and would OD on something or other if his heart didn't give out first. But Richards is still strutting his stuff.

Richards is the poster boy for the term: "sex, drugs, and rock and roll"

Some photos (with a face showing his years of hard partying)!

Shrine to Keith Richards

From Wikipedia --

Keith Richard's bio

Check out the flick he (Keith Richards) did with Chuck Berry for Chuck's 65th birthday. Classic.

Check - Chuck's 60th birthday - "Hail! Hail! Rock and Roll"

Dying is easy.

Comedy is hard.

That was some funny stuff right there.

RIP John Palmer.

Be Well.

This headlne is too funny

Carbondale, I didn't know anybody lived there except the miners.

Only the good die young--

Loved his music and the hot babes he had in his videos. He was one of the best Canadian rockers since Bryan Adams.

Yes Keith Richards' 40+ years (so far) of rock & rolling and living the life of a millionaire jet-setter where he lavished himself with everything including hot babes in endless orgies of sex,drugs and booze is certainly a most cautionary and tragic tale to warn your teenaged sons about - right???

Good times
But after reading his wiki bio apparently he's a damn hard worker too

"Check out the flick he (Keith Richards) did with Chuck Berry for Chuck's 65th birthday. Classic."

I recently read a quote from Keith Richards where he matter of factly refers to Chuck Berry punching him in the face. He refers to Berry as an asshole but also says you have to be one in order to be a frontman and goes on to say "Chuck Berry can punch me in the face any time....". I wish I could find the quote.

I think the punch might be on that 60th birthday DVD Letusprey was talking about.

Richards is probably the coolest guy who ever lived using the conventional definition of "cool".

It's a great DVD. Some of the rehearsals alone are worth the price of admission.
Berry to Richards : "You're playing it wrong"

Berry is an arsehole. The guy is messed up in the noggin'.
Even tho he's one of America's greatest songwriters.
Jail did something to him.
