The are all terrific but Michiko is the royalty of the three. It's cool in itself that the lead book reviewer of our lead paper has a name like Michiko Kakutani. That she speaks in praise of Keith Richards redeems my enduring belief in the unexpectedness of life. We are indeed a melting pot and that doesn't change a thing,

"The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it."

-- Omar Khayyam, 1048-1131

I am reading "Life", among other books (sorry, Bonnie). So far,so good. He has always been the underrespected half of the duo, the musical sound that defines the Stones.
