Keef On Zep: "They Reunited?"
The utterly brilliant, devastatingly succinct Keith Richards has the final word on that Led Zeppelin reunion...
Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards apparently isn't a big fan of fellow rock survivors Led Zeppelin.
In fact, in an almost feline declaration of complacence he claims not even to know Page and Co reunited for their huge 02 gig last year.
When quizzed on his opinion of the December reunion, Keef said: "They had one? Well, well done Jimmy and Robert... 'Stairway To Heaven' don't make it for me, baby."
The guitar legend also called fellow Stones relic Mick Jagger a maniac: "[Mick] can't get up in the morning without knowing immediately who he's going to call.
Meanwhile, I just go 'Thank God I'm awake' and wait for three or four hours before I do anything."
Keef, please, never leave us.
