We have reached nirvana. And an inflection point.
Keith Richards — noted former drug addict — recording the late Lou Reed’s “Waiting for the Man.” I mean, everything comes together here, doesn’t it?
Keith, now 80, kicked drugs and remains a medical miracle and a musical hero. But you can imagine him sending someone up to Lexington and one-two-five, can’t you?
PLAY IT LOUD!
This is part of a tribute album for Lou’s coming birthday.
