Song Writing Insights from Keith Richards….
from Keith Richards' "Life", page 304Songs are strange things.....If they stick, they stick. With most of the songs I've ever written, quite honestly, I've felt there's an enormous gap here, waiting to be filled; this song should have been written hundreds of years ago. How did nobody pick up on that little space? Half the time you're looking for gaps that other people haven't done. And you say, I don't believe they've missed that f'ing hole! It's so obvious. It was there staring you in the face! I pick the holes.

Powder Daze
I’m a sucker for fresh powder. There’s something about that feeling that you get on a powder day. The adrenaline rush, the burning quads. When the snow is sooo light and fluffy that you can literally float on top of the snow and even if you eat it, its like falling into a bed of pillows. These big snows are the reason that I ski.
Gotta love the freshies.
