Keith Richards, a member of the Rolling Stones and widely considered to be one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time, has made a point of living life on his own terms--even when those terms have far exceeded standards of convention and propriety. Now, in his long-awaited autobiography, he opens up about his earliest years in postwar Kent; learning guitar and forming a band with Mick Jagger and Brian Jones; the rise to prominence of the Stones and the famous shows, tours, and records; his occasionally fraught relationship with Jagger and his romances with Anita Pallenberg and Patti Hansen; his struggles with drug addiction and his run-ins with the law in various countries--nothing is off limits. Richards's story is, in many ways, the history of rock music itself and a cultural snapshot of the last four decades. "Keith Richards, miembro de los Rolling Stones y generalmente considerado uno de los mejores guitarristas del rock de todos los tiempos, se ha dedicado a vivir una vida bajo sus propios terminos--aun cuando esos terminos han excedido por mucho las convenciones. Ahora, en su autobiografia muy esperada, se sincera sobre su ninez en Kent de la posguerra; aprender a tocar la guitarra y formar una banda con Mick Jagger y Brian Jones; el ascenso de los Rolling Stones y los famosos conciertos, las giras y los discos; su tensa relacion con Jagger y sus romances con Anita Pallenberg y Patti Hansen; su lucha contra la adiccion a las drogas y sus encuentros con la ley en varios paises--todo se pone sobre la mesa. La historia de Richards es, en muchos sentidos, la historia del rock mismo y un vistazo cultural de las ultimas cuatro decadas."
