Got this autobiog for Xmas and really looking forward to it. Old Keef doesn't hold back on his opinions on a number of subjects!!

I searched through already for his thoughts on the writing of 'Jumpin' Jack Flash' - Bill Wyman always claimed he wrote the riff for it (which i believe - he and Charlie were mercilessly ripped off by Mick and Keith, in credit terms for ideas; more perhaps than George and Ringo, but that's another story...)

Anyway, sure neough, Keith doesn't mention Bill's involvement at all, just saying he gets these killer riffs from out of the blue. The lyrics were Mick's inspired by 'Bill's riff', and Keith's gardener Jack, who had size fourteeen feet.

The Beatles get a good mention - Keith recalls when he and Paul ran into each other on a Caribbean beach 4 years ago - they had a good chat and even composed a song.
