Keith Richards Interview

Andrew Marr, the interviewer, might be unfamiliar to US A-goners. He is a former Member of Parliament who went into TV journalism full time. A few years ago he had a stroke but managed a full recovery and is seen on top form here interviewing the legendary Keith Richards.

Here's the crux of the matter : almost as soon as the camera gets rolling Keith expounds the virtues of analogue.
A man after my own heart... ;^)

You can watch the entire interview here. Please scroll to 27 minutes on the timebase as the show covers a lot of political issues.

On YouTube Keith answers a fan's question about whether Jim Morrison suggested the title for Exile on Main Street. Enjoy.

He not a turntable. It's just that sometimes he think he's a turntable.

You are absolutely right, Moonglow, that was a low blow and I apologize profusely to Keith and all turntables everywhere.

That sounds about right. I don't personally see any advantage of digtial except on paper.

I could be wrong about this but it seems to me all of the Stones' albums since Steel Wheels which if memory serves is more than 20 years old have been entirely digital, i.e., DDD. in addition, most or all of the Stones' albums in the past 20 years maybe more have been victims of the Loudness Wars, having the dynamics compressed out of them. one assumes that Keith and the boys must exercise no control whatsoever over their artistic products, regardless of what Keith opines regarding the pros and cons of analog recordings.

Cheers
