There's the saying that the only two things to survive a nuclear attack would be cockroaches and Keith Richards. Seriously, why or how is the guy still alive, considering his past drug abuse?! He turned 67 last week!

Check out these videos of the X-pensive winos...

That's Steve Jordan (drums) and Waddy Wachtel (guitar (Strat)) in the band, two of the best session musicians since Jimmy Page in the '60s.
The guy's a living legend! He made a cameo appearance in the last Johnny Depp 'Pirates' movie. Word has it that Depp modeled his character/mannerisms after Keith.

If you want to hear more of Mr. Richards' side project The X-pensive Winos, you'll want to get the live album. Here's an Allmusic.com listing:
http://www.allmusic.com/album/live-at-t ... 988-r16524

The name of the band is kind of a joke--these folks don't look at all pensive.

That's a good album , but unfortunately, '999' and 'Gimme Shelter' aren't on it. Both of those tracks are on the 'Time Is On My Side' bootleg, recorded live in Toronto in 1993. And, of course, they are on YouTube as well.

Has anyone ever noticed the lead singer from Buck Cherry, Josh something or other. He is a dead ringer, IMHO, of a young Keith Richards.

Its Crazy Bitch.
