George Jones is a national treasure and should be treated accordingly. A unique style so often emulated even inadvertently.
KEITH RICHARDS

National Treasure Unique
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.
KEITH RICHARDS

Comfortable Feeling Myself Time

The idea of retiring is like killing yourself. It’s almost like Hari Kari. I intend to live to a 100 and go down in history.

I mean, give me a guitar, give me a piano, give me a broom and string, I wouldn’t get bored anywhere.

Boredom Guitar Myself
When I listen to what I did under the influence – 10 years of work – I don’t think it either enhanced or impaired me. It didn’t have that much to do with it.

My father. I snorted my father. He was cremated and I couldn’t resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow.
