KEITH RICHARDS

"MY ß0p1 AND ROLL LIFE"

Unlike any interview of Keith Richards' legendary career - that's what's in store on the next edition of Timothy White's Rock Stars, airing the week of January 23. It's Keith -style candor at its unforgettable best. Taped with host Timothy White in a special New York City session, Keith Richards reveals the "stories behind the stories" regarding his recent trium- phant "Talk Is Cheap" solo album and tour. "I'm a Sagittarius," Keith recounts, "half -man, half- horse, with a license to do it in the street!" And he tells the hilarious inside saga of how he and drummer /co- producer Steve Jordan used outlandish street smarts and "creative subter- fuge" to reunite Keith with Rolling Stones alumni like Mick Taylor and Bobby Keyes for the no- frills genius of "Talk Is Cheap ". In this NATIONAL RADIO EXCLUSIVE, you'll be treated to alternate mixes of such songs as "Make No Mistake" as well as other amazing Richards recording rarities! In addition, you'll hear Keith delve back into the Stones' earliest days at the Crawdaddy Club, their wild 60's socializing with Bo Diddley, Little Richard, Muddy Waters and the Ronettes and "the Georgia day the Stones were busted for bathing topless!" Keith also discloses his guitar and songwriting secrets, recalls his 1966 project conducting a symphony orchestra and tells the real tales behind such Stones classics as "It's All Over Now ", "Satisfaction ", "Honky-Tonk Women ", "Happy ", "Bitch ", "Before They Make Me Run" and "Sleep Tonight ". Plus Keith reveals his boyhood idolization of Roy Rogers...His experiences as a choirboy in West- minster Abbey...And the rowdy misadventures that got him bounced (as leader of the Beaver Patrol) from the Boy Scouts! All in all, the Keith Richards edition of Timothy White's Rock Stars is 90 minutes no rock and roll fan will ever forget.
