Such a sad shame when old friends fall out.

As I am sure you know, unless you live on Venus, Keith's given poor old Mick a bit of a hard time in his new autobiography. Mind you Mick does look a bit of a tit in the video below, as he often tended to do post mid. '70s, fascinating comic character that he is. Then again Keef's whole shtick is a bit of a charade and contrived exaggeration as we know, but a cooler seeming one than Mick's persona, at least since 1972 or thereabouts.

I am currently reading Mark Radcliffe's memoir and he relates the story of an encounter with old rubber lips. He speculates light-heartedly in this chapter on who is the more rock 'n' roll of the Glimmer twins. I had to actually lol! on the bus ride home reading his references to the strange changes in Keef's hair-do and to the odds and ends that attached themselves mysteriously in there from time to time, and particularly where Radcliffe recalls 'his friend' Mark Ellen telling him how one time he interviewed Keith (the more-recent-years slurry old gent incarnation) and observed what appeared to be a small spoon somehow attached to the great man's barnet. So here's to Mick and Keef and their bizzare and amusing soap opera of a relationship that's entertained us over the years. To the odd couple.
