According to this news item, Rolling Stone Keith Richards has got his head together and is ready to tour again. Although he continues to be cryptic concerning his alleged Fiji tree topple, he certainly can speak Truth when he wants to.

Asked what success meant to the Rolling Stones after 44 years, Richards responded: "The opportunity to continue." His bandmates nodded in agreement.

That's exactly right. What most artists want is to succeed enough to keep doing what they want to do. Money and fame are important only insofar as they allow artists to keep on being artists.

Money can't buy you love but it can buy you time to do what you love.

Oops. Wrong band.
