Rules…
Rule Number 1. Life isn’t fair.
Rule number 2. No one can change Rule Number One.
Rule number 3. Improvise, adapt and accept. (The best you can).
What brought this to my mind was I watched a Rolling Stones
concert… “The Stones… Over Havana Moon.
These guys now are all in their 70s. They have abused alcohol,
abused drugs, taken advantage of women, trashed hotel rooms,
abused hotel staff, smoked cigarettes, (one still does0 smoked pot,
(some still do), been so drunk and stoned to where they missed
numerous flight departure times after a concert, got out of drug
charges and have lived life wide open.
Again, these guys now are all in their 70s.
They are all millionaires, Mick Jagger has been Knighted
(Sir Mick), And, Charlie Watts has been awarded one of England’s
Top 10 Best Dressed Men. Recently Charlie was awarded Master
Drummer for Rock and Jazz Drummer. I think Ginger Baker is
better. Something I wanted to pursue… didn’t work out.
Keith Richards is probably the richest of them all. How did that
happen… half the time he wouldn’t know what planet he’s on.
Geeze… and I worry about occasionally having more than one beer.
It scares me to even think about a get together with the guys (a
poke game might break out) and fire up a Cohiba (cigar).
Yea… tell me about Rule Number One.
