I don’t regret nothing.
KEITH RICHARDS

Myself One Liner Regret
But I’ve always felt very comfortable on stage, even if I screw up. It always felt like a dog, this is my turf, piss around it. While I’m here, nothing else can happen. All I can do is screw up. Otherwise, have a good time.

I was number 1 on the who’s likely to die list for 10 years. I was really disappointed when I fell off that list.
