From the desk of E. Pluribus Gergely.<\/em><\/p>\n

Steven Roby<\/strong> and and Brad Schreiber<\/strong>‘s new book, entitled Becoming Jimi Hendrix<\/em>, sheds new light on Stones’ guitarist Keith Richards<\/strong>.\u00a0During the spring and summer of July 1965, Richards’ girlfriend, British model Linda Keith<\/a><\/strong>, found herself in Greenwich Village, making frequent visits to Cafe Wha ?, where she first saw Jimi Hendrix<\/strong> perform.\u00a0After frequent visits, Hendrix became romantically involved with Keith (Linda, that is).\u00a0When Richards found out about the affair, he called Linda Keith’s parents and warned them that she had become involved with a “black junkie.”\u00a0Keith’s (Linda’s, that is) well-to-do father immediately flew to New York and dragged her home.<\/p>\n

Simply put, Richards’ reputation as Bad Ass Mother No. 1<\/em> is at stake.\u00a0RTH is asking that Richards come forth to tell his side of the story.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What's worse, dating Keef, dating Jimi, or this '70s-era Linda Keith ensemble?<\/p><\/div>\n

By the way, did you know that Keef wrote “Ruby Tuesday” for Linda Keith? Readers of Richards’ Life<\/em> might recall that story and his account of the “telling on daddy” story. Nevertheless, RTH demands a full account from the King of Cool.<\/p>
