Unlike Jagger, Richards is no mincer. Unlike Jagger, Richards has never done a tacky charity cover of Dancin’ in the Streets (UK number one in summer 1985) in partnership with Bowie. And unlike Jagger, there is no chance of Richards kissing and making up after a punch-up. No, Richards is clearly a man who has faced death on numerous occasions, and has so far survived every time. One also suspects that whilst this Rolling Stone is gathering creative moss, he’d still be an asset in a pub brawl.
