Keith Richards died 17 years ago, what you see now is a pirate zombie.

Keith Richards is the world's best looking cadaver. Some say all the booze he consumed helped preserve his looks.

Keith Richards once rolled Chuck Norris in some Rizla and smoked him.

One of Elvis Presley's first post army movies (Flaming Star) was originally to be called Black Star because, according to the plot and I'm guessing folklore) when Native Americans are about to die they see a black star calling them. I wonder if the name of Bowie's album was influenced by this? The folklore as opposed to Elvis's movie.Pretty cool if it was.

Very interesting. And I just read that "black star" is the name for a certain type of cancer... I wouldn't be surprised if Bowie had been aware of those meanings when he chose the title of his album...

I wonder, if Bri+Rog would appear at the Bowie memorial concert in New York on March 31st??
