Keith Richards Tells Amy Winehouse To Sober Up
BERLIN (Hollywood Reporter) - Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards has given Amy Winehouse some unsolicited advice.
“She should get her act together,” the former junkie said during a round-table interview at the Berlin International Film Festival on Friday to promote Martin Scorsese’s Rolling Stones documentary “Shine a Light.”
The often-addled rocker paused, then added: “Apart from that, I have got nothing to say to the bitch.”
Winehouse, 24, entered a London rehab clinic last month in hopes of kicking a destructive habit that has overshadowed her promising career.
Stones frontman Mick Jagger, himself no stranger to pharmaceutical experimentation and resulting legal troubles, compared the drug problems of the present generation of Brit rock stars, such as Winehouse and Pete Doherty, to his early days when drugs became an integral part of the pop music scene.
“When we were experimenting with drugs, little was known about the effects,” Jagger said. “In our time there were no rehab centers like today. Anyway, I did not know about them.”
Sounding a bit like the 64-year-old grandfather that he is, the fitness fanatic said he couldn’t understand how the younger generation, knowing the dangers of drug use, could still be users.
“A storm is threatening my very life today….war, children..it’s just a shot away…”

We knew what we were doing, we said, “fuck it”. “The doctor said it would kill me, but he didn’t say when”.

Keith doesn’t spare words (or guitars on stage crashers — see below).

February 10th, 2008 at 7:54 amWhatever Richards. Stop talking about other people just to get press for yourself. Leave Amy and Pete alone. I wish them well, since myself am 9days sober today. I know how hard it is. Our generation lives in the moment, we dont think about tomorrow, just living for today !

Get all the press you can, Keith.

Keith never smoked his uncle (nice Robin Williams quote, though), but he did admit last year to mixing his father’s ashes with cocaine and snorting it. He responded to criticism by saying something like “He wouldn’t have minded.”

Yeah, I think they replaced it with formaldehyde …
February 10th, 2008 at 2:23 pmLobo3, I’ve read all,(true or false ?)or most of the Stones have had that treatment. Extremely expensive,but they can afford it.

That’s caused by inactivity or dysfunction of the prefrontal lobes, which are responsible for planning, goals, projecting the future, and self-restraint aka impulse control. In most cases, they will eventually kick in and reveal to you what a useless lump-o’ you’ve been being, but not in every case. We call the latter types “persistent recidivists”.
KIETH, lay down……… you’re dead.
