Keith Richards

We have some Morgan Wallen.

We have Keith Richards.

What an eclectic mix.

I think GTA, for those fellow GTA gamers out there, it's one of those games that there's hundreds and hundreds of songs in the catalogue of GTA V, and a lot of people are introduced to a lot of music through video games.

Yeah.

Johnny Marr was a massive fan of Keith Richards and, Steve had just recorded what he referred to as the worst, or produced the worst ever Rolling Stones album.

It was, yeah, no, he refers to it as like, oh fuck, it was like the thing to keep the marriage together for the sake of the children.

Yeah, the

So anyway, he's managing to get, and he tells this story of like, you know, and this is around his house in Ealing.

And he says that, you know, he says he sat there with Johnny Marr.

Keith Richards and Kirstie McColl and they're jamming and he's recording it and you know as you say that would have been you'd have been these days you'd have been straight out with the cameras and he can't he also said he'd lost he'd lost the tapes but you know which would be a real shame because I'm sure those would be worth a fortune so yeah no but the point being yes exactly I mean you go back to That era, you know, I mean, some of the things that went on probably shouldn't have been photographed anyway.

No, it's very true.

Yeah, they, and it was out long, obviously, what, 1967 when that came out? So it'd been out for, you know, forever before this movie, 20 years.

So that's Amanda Jones, and then of course there's Watts, like Charlie Watts, and then Keith, like Keith Richards.

I just, I don't know if all that was intentional or not, but-

It totally was.

So who's to say he's wrong? Well, blue sky, say he's wrong.

Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 6 is dropping an official soundtrack album on November 19th, packed with 34 fresh tracks from a star-studded, genre-bending lineup including Young Lean, Travis Scott and even Keith Richards.

Who Let the Dogs Out by Bahar Men, for when your getaway involves a pack of unruly NPCs.

i just called uh dan hauser sam hauser

right um but yes uh it's it's it's um i i do remember hearing that for the first time and then seeking out the artist and not doing anything else with it but uh Yes, we shall see.

But yeah, Keith Richards, that's an odd choice, isn't

it? They got all the bases covered.

Yeah.

And then you got people like Keith Richards that nobody can explain anything about why he's still alive.

[laughs]

But, um, you know, they're all in their 70s and in their 80s, and, um, you know, t- time, time has to keep ticking.

That's going to be tough.

How about Keith Richards? How is he still around? Amazing.

Willie Nelson.

Well, at least with Willie, you kind of know.

What are the odds of you regretting that decision? once the paycheck stopped rolling in.

So let's look at this.

Say you at 64 got out of it, and just with Keith Richards-like joy lived your life in music, relaxation, and the enjoyment of the other people you love in your life.

What are the odds of you getting your deathbed and going, I made a colossal

Uh, and a lot of it had to do with what happens if I just embrace that.

What does that mean in terms of my responsibilities as a writer and how it impacts the characters, but also, uh, that that mythologizing uh sort of like self uh i don't know like it's not self-aggrandizing but like the way in which external inspirations are mythologized and directed back towards herself is also intended as a reference to her other major inspiration point which is patty smith uh and you know if you if you read a lot of patty smith's books her own accounts of her life growing up but especially read uh certain sections from within uh please kill me of like other people in the 80s and 90s talking about patty's role within the scene and her her vision by the early 70s of how all these pieces these inspiration points put together Patti Smith, in the 1970s and even before, had this very strong tendency to kind of canonize and mythologize her inspiration points, whether it was Bob Dylan, Keith Richards, Jimi Hendrix, but... as these individual artists would would gain personal significance for her, she started to develop this kind of like vague cosmology.

She would mythologize these characters and kind of like magically absorb what they had to offer.

And that's really how that's how I feel about bands and music and art.

yeah

but there's a moment at 235 in this song when Cooley comes in behind Hood and it reminded me of Keith Richards coming in behind Mick Jagger on the vocal

okay

and so that may have been why I was thinking of that on the vocal okay but in musically I Yeah.
