Quips and Quotations (His Work Glimmers for Itself Edition)

 

1941-2021

A Man of Wealth and Taste

It's July of 1965, and we find a typical English gentleman enjoying a cup of tea. Except this particular native of the UK is Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, and he and his bandmates have just been charged with "insulting behavior"--they were caught urinating on the side of a building. OK, maybe that's not so typically gentlemanly, in England or anywhere else. But, as you can see, Richards has made himself nice and presentable for his day in court, though he probably could do with a haircut.
