Let’s add this to our portfolio of Walking Visual Arguments Against Drugs. Rolling Stone Keith Richards with his wife Patti who looks – by contrast – incredible. Keith reminds me a bit of when you were a kid and you put the chip packets in the oven and they shrunk.
Another (ex) Rolling Stone wife and offspring after the jump…
I don’t think Keith is a poster boy for drug abuse. He’s too successful at it! Perhaps Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix or Janis Joplin. Keith is in his mid 60s, married to a gorgeous babe, worth millions and still playing rock’n'roll all over the world. He survived. Puts a whole different spin on ‘paying your dues’. Of his past, he once described it as ‘having been to Hell and back, through the fire’.
As he says in the interview below, ‘don’t try this at home’.
This clip, from 2006, portrays a much different man and artist than the degenerate crazy the media has had us believe he is. He certainly hasn’t lived life by the ‘normal’ rules. He certainly isn’t a role model. However, he has lived life on his terms, and by virtue of historical situation, appropriate talent and an unbelievably strong metabolism, he continues to define life on his terms. Certainly not everyone’s cup of tea, but nonetheless an interesting clip!

Patti looks great, & I don’t think she looks as if shes’s gone under the knife. Not on her face anyway. Poor old Keith looks like he needs ironing or something, and why does he need to bind his head? To keep his ears from falling off?? And he seems to be carrying a spare, for WHAT??? Just LOVE Patti’s frock!
I don’t think the elder Jagger daughter is particularly attractive at all. Yes, she does look quite like Jerry, but her facial proportions are just a whisker “out” or something. The Dracula red lippy doesn’t suit her. I think the younger daugher is very sweet and pretty. And you’ll note, not dressed far older than her age, not sporting a face full of slap. Top marks there Jerry, as mum must have some say.
I still want Patti’s frock though….
I think Jerry Hall is gorgeous but can’t get over how her older daughter is the spitting image of her whereas the poor younger one copped Daddy’s looks…! Hate it when that happens, especially with such a stunning mother!
aarrrggh children…can…not…look….sheild…my…eyes!
That girl in the lime/spew green has no right to look so smug.
Unless she’s TRYING to look hideous with her mother. Then, WINNER!
kudos to him!! – it’s a miracle he is still alive
Poor old Keith probably wouldnt look that bad if he put on 15 kilos, had a decent haircut and binned the rag he has tied around his head.
I agree Patti looks great, but I don’t think Keith is necessarily a poster boy for anti drugs. Patti was well into that scene I’m sure she took her fair share of drugs. Just looks like Keith has given the plastic surgeons office a miss and good for him!
