Topic: Who epitomises Rock n Roll?

Here in the UK a few nights ago they showed a great biopic of Keith Richard on BBC TV and while watching it it occurred to me that, for me, Keith absolutely epitomises rock n roll. He looks the part, sounds the part and absolutely lives the part. He's survived more drugs and booze than the NHS get through in a year and he's still a nice bloke. If you've never seen the Stones he gets a bigger cheer than Jagger, he plays a Telecaster like an angel and he's got his own unique sound.

So the question is who for you epitomises rock n roll and why?

Hi Buzz

I know it's not what you asked but do you know Keith's autobiography is out now.  I'm looking to order it this week it's called Life.  Should be an interesting read since Jagger has said it is "bitchy" and Amazon have it half price at the moment.

Re: Who epitomises Rock n Roll?

By golly, I epitomise rock and roll.
I'm so stinkin' old I remember when there was no rock and roll but I dug it from day one.
Been playing rock since high school and I finally learned a few tunes purty good.
I remain, a legend in my own mind.

I just ordered the book, but I am really looking forward to playing alongside the legendary toots in a few weeks!

Atta boy Toots, you are never to old to rock, or to roll, i'm a mere sprog at 63, so, you're an inspiration to us all,
someone said that old rock and rollers never die, they just fade away, but i reckon that they good one's will always leave their shadow behind, keep it up.
