Prickly Mick: No Stones!
March, 2012
These creaky Stones won’t roll.
Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger is still seething that Keith Richards dared to insult his manhood, claiming in Keith’s 2011 tell-all autobiography, “Life,” that his longtime lady-loving bandmate has a “tiny todger.”
The barb, dubbed “Willygate” by the British press, has apparently torpedoed what was left of the aging rock duo’s already icy relationship and sank any chance for a Stones 50th anniversary reunion tour this year.
“Mick feels that Keith violated their friendship completely, damaged his reputation and that of the Rolling Stones,” a Stones source tells London’s Daily Mail.
Richards claims he discovered the tidbit about his old friend’s bits and pieces during a tryst he had in 1960 with Marianne Faithfull, then Jagger’s girlfriend.
Making matters worse, he added how it had been his good fortune to bury his head in Faithfull’s “beautiful jugs” during an afternoon sex romp.
Last week, Richards, 68, apologized — in an effort to patch things up with Jagger, also a spry 68.
“As far as the book goes, it was my story and it was very raw, as I meant it to be,” Richards said. “But I know that some parts of it, and some of the publicity, really offended Mick, and I regret that.”
