"The interesting thing about music to me is that music has always seemed streaks ahead of any other art form of social expression."

"A close-up look at the hard-driving, passionate musician who was once a choirboy and a convict."

"If there's one truth about the Rolling Stones, it's that people tend to die around them. Stanley Booth, God bless him, has lived to tell about it . . . Keith emerges quietly as the portrait of a specific kind of artist--a hard-working, record-mad, true musician."
