As Tears Go By
Condolences to Keith Richards. The Rolling Stone just lost his father, who
suffered a heart attack. Dad Bert, 85, had been a merry fixture on the road
with the Stones. Keith was home in England with his father when he died.
It's been a bad summer for the Glimmer Twins. Bert's death comes not long
after the passing of Mick Jagger's mum.
At least we can happily report that Jade Jagger, Mick's daughter with
Bianca, is expecting her third child. The father? Publishing heir Dan
Macmillan, grandson of former British Prime Minister Harold.

Does anybody have an e-mail address where fans can
send Keef their respect? I've heard him talk about
his dad in a few interviews. Sounds like he was one hell
of a cool old bloke.

Yeah. Even longer than a decade, maybe. Sometime in the late 80s or
early 90s, Keef told Rolling Stone mag they had just reunited after
many years.
I guess in the end, he had maybe 8-10 years on good terms with the old
man. Kinda sad, huh?

What's really ironic is on the No Security tour, Bert would be
regularly seen partying it up as if he were a rock star himself.

Before you buy.
Longer than that. I think from when Keith left home to go live with Jones
and Jagger until, jeez...mid eighties? Something like that. Almost 20 years.
But apparently they had been very close since coming back together. Good on
both of them...it must have been hard, setting aside all that kept them
apart.

Keith was estranged from his father for years. That's the reason why he
dropped the s from his last name from 1962 to 1976. He started exchanging
letters with his father in 1976 and they reconciled during the Stones' European
tour in 1982.
