Keith Richards Shrugged

November 1st, 2010

From an interview in Rolling Stone about the ancient Rolling Stone rocker:

”The whole business thing is predicated a lot on the tax laws,” said Keith Richards. “It’s why we rehearse in Canada and not in the U.S. A lot of our astute moves have been basically keeping up with tax laws, where to go, where not to put it. Whether to sit on it or not. We left England because we’d be paying 98 cents on the dollar. We left, and they lost out. No taxes at all..”

Who is Keith Richards? To quote Robin Williams, ““I believe that once we are all gone, Keith Richards will still be here…with 5 cockroaches saying ‘you know I smoked your uncle, did you know that?’”
