Well shit, next time I'm stompin' in somebodies motherfuckin' wheelhouse, I'll stomp motherfuckin' correct. But yeah, as much as I love the music from my day, and a lot of stuff now, nothing would have been better than growing up during that era. Seems like there would have been a genuine excitement about the music and the scene that just isn't possible these days.
What's really cool is that I ended up in my adult life having a mistress for about 2 1/2 decades was the ex-wife of Bobby Keys, the saxophone legend who had recorded and toured with the Stones - he's most legendary on Brown Sugar.
He also played with all the Beatles as soloists - The Beatles and just broken up right when Bobby hit it big.
He also played with and record it with a lot of other big names.
My mistress Judith had incredible stories of her days when she was married to Bobby and her friendships with all of the Rolling Stones and all of the Beatles and the rest of the people she ran around with from the British invasion.
I only met Bobby once, at his ex-wife's funeral maybe six or seven years ago-but it seems that Bobby was a very likable guy and became friends with just about everybody he works with including the Stones and all the Beatles. It is said that Bobby and Keith Richards were best friends; they did have an unusual thing in common and that they shared the same date of birth.
I heard on the news that Bobby had died of shit related to alcohol abuse about two years after my mistress died.
Judith's daughter Amber asked me to say a few words about her mother at the funeral. Judith had paid me probably two of the greatest compliments I had everything paid in my life and I remember that In my eulogy:
"She told me I could drink more beer than any man she had ever met in her life, which knowing the men she knew, that was a hell of a complement. And she also told me I had everything it took to be a rock 'n' roll star, except for a great musical talent."
