Funniest Shit Ever: Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood Recording An MTV Commercial (1982)
15 Jun, 2010 in fnord, funniest shit ever, humor
I took an online test to self diagnose adult ADHD. If you scored a 11 or higher, you should “talk to your doctor”. I got a 23, Youdopia. I say this because that is how I found this video. Someone on my favorite Led Zeppelin forum posted a link to Keith Richards talking about.. something.. and from there it was bouncy, bouncy, bouncy to this little ditty. Keef n Ronnie doing a promo bump for the brand new MTV, back in 1981 or 82.. The reason that this is the Funniest Shit Ever, is what Keith says at the very end. He takes a drag from his cigarette, blows out and says, “Trust a pro.” That is funny because the boys were obviously medicated and having, apparently, a bit of trouble with their lines, until Keef drops the bullshit and nails it. I love him.
I can watch hours of interview footage of him, because he’s funny as shit (great sense of humor), sharp as a tack, and truly, truly cool. Somewhere, probably 25 years ago I read an article saying that Keith was a zen master in a former life, and is using his merit to live a life (in this life) of unlimited action. I… can’t say it’s not true.
Oh, that makes lots of sense really… How else would he have survived to be the Pirate king?
I’ve always said that if I am good in this life and do what I am suppose to do, I get to come back as one of my cats…. I think I am going to re-think that now…
The King of Cool! He truly is the most interesting person to watch interview—ever.
You’re 100% right, Phil. Keef gives the best interviews, by far. I loved his book for that reason. It was his voice. Keef is without a doubt the coolest cat ever.
