Quote

Keith Richards

The electric guitar was vital in helping what I've achieved where would I be without it? Playing awfully quietly, for a start.
Keith Richards

You see, to me, the art of music is listening to it, not playing it. The real art of it is hearing it.
Keith Richards
Image
The idea of retiring is like killing yourself. It's almost like Hari Kari. I intend to live to a 100 and go down in history.

Music works in mysterious ways. Once it goes in you have no idea what it can do to you.

Music is a language that doesn’t speak in particular words. It speaks in emotions, and if it’s in the bones, it’s in the bones.
