Great article, Tony. I have 'Dear Boy ...' as well, which I enjoyed immensely! Reading it gave me the impression that Keith's drumming was an exact representation of his lifestyle. I'm as much of a party viking as the next man, if not more so, but he must have been exhausting to be around.

Thanks Gus, I do believe that Dear Boy confirms how tiring he could be for others, much though they genuinely, almost universally, loved him... Plenty more articles like that in the archives if you are up for it!

Happiest of birthdays, Tony, and I hope the afterglow is still lit.

To celebrate properly, if you want to start a Go Fund Me to pay for your own evening of hotel room destruction, put me down for a ten spot.

Thank you Dear Mister, I have mellowed out sufficiently over the years that that may not be required! The offer is generously appreciated. Cheers!
