Inktober Day 17 BATTLE

A little inner battle...and a little nod to one of my all-time idols, Keith Richards. You tell it, Keef!

Keith Richards

I was so bummed that I forgot to initially include that Keith Richards / Rolling Stones' video on the Blues (in Britain) at the end of my last post until after it sailed off into the universe, I decided to post it again.  Along with it, I give you a fast portrait drawing of Keith from a shot at the very end of the clip after he dispenses the bit of wisdom below.

Here it is done in black ink.  One of my favorite rocker dudes ever to grace the planet.

"I mean, what do you want to do in this world, ya' know?  

Why did you start it?  

How do you want to finish it?  

Now that's the blues."

Keith Richards talks about The Blues in Britain:

Day 273. So Weary.SOLD

I'm so tired.  Sometimes this project is just kicking my arse.

Here's how I feel--"Sister Morphine" (one of the best songs ever made)--the slow chords...Mick's plaintive voice at the beginning.  Keep with it--sorry, that I feel compelled to constantly be some rock 'n' roll educator.  Why?  I don't know; maybe because I just read some survey that 80% of kids don't know who the Beatles are or that they thought only old people listen to the Stones.  Such a travesty.

Pay special attention and listen at 2:41/2:42 as Charlie Watts' drum kicks in and Keith's guitar right after.  Maybe I'm waking up.  ha!  Nope.  Back to weariness.  Peace out.  I have to go to bed...exhausted.
