KEITH RICHARDS

WE must not be too hard on Rolling Stone Keith Richards who said that
he had no problems with drugs, only with drug dealers.

It is quite obvious that he is after a knighthood so that he can stand
beside his pal (Sir) Mick Jagger as an equal. After all, it must be
obvious to all that such an honour is open to anyone who can earn a
lot of money. It's a bit like a book token. It doesn't matter if you
are involved with drugs and sex - in fact, it almost seems that this
helps your cause. I wonder how long it will be before Eminem is made
an honorary life peer.

Stop turning in your grave, Sir Winston.
