Tom Waits may pay the mortgage as a musician, but he clearly has the heart of a junkman. With Waits, you get the sense that nothing ever truly gets thrown away—maybe pushed deeper back or buried beneath but never completely discarded or forgotten.

It looks like Lil Wayne has a reason to release a follow-up to his rock-rap album, Rebirth , after all. Along with Eminem and Keith Richards, Weezy was named a "god of rock" by the folks over at GQ magazine. And from the looks of the article, being a rock god basically means you have to sell a shitload of records and be an addict of some kind. Sounds about right, I suppose, though Em's really never done anything all-out "rock" before. Sure there have been guitars used on the beats he's rapped over but... [...]

Next year marks the 50th anniversary of the Rolling Stones as a band, and given that the band set new bars for being stodgy businessmen in their bevy of 21st century tours, you'd expect that the band has some serious tour plans lined up for 2012. But not so fast, says Mick Jagger. He said that fans shouldn't "hold their breath" for a Stones reunion tour in 2012. Why? Well, apparently Jagger and Richards have been on rough ground together since Richards' book, Life, took not-so-veiled shots at Jagger's dong size, and had references to how Richards hated [...]

Quando Keith Richards decidiu contar a sua longa, movimentada e quase lendária vida em um livro auto-biográfico, as expectativas instantaneamente se formaram. Vida , o livro que resultou desse esforço, parece ter cumprido bem a tarefa, afinal, o guitarrista do The Rolling Stones acaba de conquistar o prêmio de "Escritor do ano", entregue pela revista GQ, e anunciar para o jornal britânico The Telegraph que Vida será adaptado para os cinemas em breve. Essa notícia deixa qualquer fã com uma pergunta (e uma resposta quase imediata) pairando sobre a cabeça: quem [...]

In a probable stunt, but also maybe because his book is the tops, Keith Richards was named the writer of the year at the annual GQ awards, and he was presented the awards by Johnny Depp. Seriously, though, Life is pretty great. The bigger news from the awards is that Richards has apparently been approached to turn the book into a biopic, and he is apparently open to the idea. The bigger concern for him is finding who should play him: "There are feelers out at the minute [but] I'm in no [...]
