I was Keith Richards Drug Dealer



As my friends and regular readers will know...I love reading books about the Stones. So much so in fact that someone I know stuck a line in one of their songs about it. However, that's another story. A good one but not as good as the aforementioned book.

"I was Keith Richards Drug Dealer" is a funny title for this book as pretty much the whole way through Tony Sanchez tries to make out he wasn't in a "I was just buying a little percy for me mates, honest guv" manner.

Anyway who cares! Stories about the Stones are always wicked and this one is no different. I love the way he describes Marianne and Anita and he doesn't hold back in some of the more skanky things that went on. However, I really do admire his sensitivity around the death of Anita and Keith's newborn baby. "A Season in Hell with the Rolling Stones" does not treat the incident so delicately.

Tony Sanchez is a bit of legend and any Stones fan NEEDS to read this book. Even if just to turn you on to a whole bunch of new stuff...I have just jumped on Amazon to order all of Kenneth Anger's films because Sanchez got me so excited about them.

Bring on the devil worship!
