Keith Richards: Under the Influence Page #8

---

That's how scared I was.

The door opens and

out comes out this little old guy.

You know, his legs have gone a bit

and he's like...

But it was Dad, you know, and it was...

It was so easy. Within a few minutes,

we sorted it all well out.

And he became, for the next 20 years,

my best mate.

For another 20 years,

he came on every trip, every show,

come around the world with me.

And I loved to show him the world.

And he didn't mind seeing it either.

[inaudible]

Oh. [chuckles]

Poor old boy.

He's older than I am.

Right, babe?

So, Irene, goodnight

My family, they're incredibly important,

you know.

When you see offspring of offspring,

then something else hits home.

I mean, it's one thing having a kid.

But when you get the grandsons

and the granddaughters,

well, that is...

that's an amazing feeling.

I don't know of what. Accomplishment?

I don't know. Or continuity?

But basically, love.

Goodnight, Irene

Goodnight, Irene

I'll see you in my dreams

[Richards] I've been blessed, man.

I'll play as long

as I can get away with it.

And that's all I can do.

I'm not getting old.

I'm evolving.

[singers vocalizing]

[upbeat music playing]

[indistinct chatter and laughter]

[man 1] Right on.

-Right on.

-[man 2] That was a fine piece of work.

[Richards] Once again, Larry,

great to see you, man.

[man 3] All right.

[man 4] Oh, yeah. I like this stuff.

[man 5] Yeah, balls to the walls,

gentlemen.

[Richards laughing]
