Keith Richards texted me!
This Twitter thing is pretty cool. I was on Twitter the other day and I saw that Mick Jagger (from the Rolling Stones) had made some tweets. I wondered; who does Mick follow on Twitter? It turns out that he only follows about a dozen things.
Mick follows the Rolling Stones official Twitter site. He also follows Stones guitarist Keith Richards. I was impressed. Keith wrote the ultimate rock and roll autobiography a couple of years ago and he wasn’t too kind to his pal Mick in those pages.
So Mick follows Keef? Wow! I didn’t have any interest in following Mick Jagger. Especially after reading what Keith Richards had to say about Mick in that book. But I did follow Keith.
That was last night. Today I was in the recording studio taping an interview with an author who has written a book about a famous musical duo. We were taking a break and I noticed that I had a new text message on my phone. It was from Keith Richards (or somebody who works for him).
I was thrilled to read this:
Direct message sent by Keith Richards (@officialKeef) to you (@BookNookVick) on Jan 31, 2:00 PM.
“Thanks for the follow….. click HERE:
Wow! I really like this Twitter stuff…“can’t you hear me knockin’ on your flooooor?….”

The world’s best guitarist is Leo Kottke, but I digress. Null, I have to give you ample kudos for annoying both me and Downsized in your childish posts. I would have considered it highly improbable for Down and myself to find ourselves on the same side of an issue but you have made it possible, so thanks. Maybe there is hope.

No one is claiming Keef is the most talented player, but he ROCKS. BTW Eddie Van Halen is a very talented guitarist, but I never did much care for his band.

Raoul.The stoners are not the best band………I don’t appreciate the stones,nope sure don’t.And i guess your friends not all of them like the stones.So you don’t appreciate them right.If someone says i don’t like them.Is that right on the mark.And put that in your pipe and smoke it!!!!!One more thing.the stones still and forever isn’t the best band.The beatles are a better band.always was and always will be the BEST IN THE WORLD.

Justin who? Down, I like being on the same musical page with you. Who knows, maybe there a lot of things we have in common. I also share your opinion of Null so let’s just ignore his comments. I don’trust anyone who doesn’t appreciate the Stones.

You will enjoy reading the book, Raoul. Nice that we can agree on some great music. To Null, you may want to try some Xanax, yoga, a spelling lesson and some self-help introspection before your next attempt at communication. Best wishes, you poor child. Justin is your buddy? Boy and him are posters on your ceiling? Sad.

I completely agree with Downsized. The Stones rock, because of Charlie and Keith. I want to read his book now.

That’s a great note, Vick. To Null, I don’t know what music you like (I’m guessing the Partridge Family), but Keith has authored some of the greatest licks and tunes, for the greatest rock & roll band in the world. You drip with envy and ignorance. Thanks, for the link, Vick!
