I am having a heart attack of potential awesome!! I was looking in my site stats and saw someone had Googled “Keith Richards Gary Oldman” and while it’s obvious how they ended up here eventually, I decided Googled it myself anyway.
Results? A myriad of links about GARY OLDMAN NARRATING THE AUDIOBOOK OF KEITH RICHARDS’ AUTOBIOGRAPHY.
HEART. ATTACK. Amazon (.com and .ca) is currently listing the audio book readers as Keef himself, Johnny Depp, and some other dude. Amazon.de is listing Keef (Autor) and Gary Oldman (Sprecher) and while I would love to defer to the Germans, it seems that the last references I can find to Oldman being the narrator are from June of this year. As I have yet to find any real definitive information on the subject, I am holding out for the possibility that the miraculously unexpected is indeed true and that dear Gaz does indeed read part of it. Try not to kill my dreams.
In other news, I think the book itself has been at the top of the Globe and Mail’s hardcover nonfiction bestseller list since it came out, which is incredibly awesome given that he’s beating out Justin Bieber. THERE ARE STILL SOME THINGS RIGHT WITH THIS WORLD.
In a fit of obsession, I got last minute tickets to the second Paul McCartney show last night and went with my sister. The crowd last night was better than the one previous, but it’s only in going to back to back shows that you realise how scripted and rehearsed they are when he starts making all the same jokes in the same places or telling all the same moderately interesting anecdotes, etc. Still. I can ignore that since the music is still phenomenal the second time round; there were only a handful of new songs, though, and I think the show was identical from “Blackbird” onwards.
A friend of mine messaged me excitedly at lunch to tell me that of all the people who could have been casually visiting the cultural institution she works for yesterday, it was none other than KEITH RICHARDS who decided to show up. Keith Richards!
