Richards And His Autobiography
Famous British music journalist Nick Kent had helped The Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards to finish writing his autobiography, said New Musical Express. As Kent noted, he was particularly assisting to write about the early 1970’s when times were extremely tough for Richards, and for the band. “I understand why he forgot everything. All of it was too unpleasant to recall. His memories are extremely dark and full of misery. Keith even broke into tears. Those were difficult times”, underlined journalist. Drugs, sex and rock n’roll were making things pretty hard for them all, the band was in it’s peak, new, modern and very powerful. The Rolling Stones guitarist is working on his autobiography for two years so far, and recently he said that a book is almost over, so don’t miss it’s release; most likely it will hit the stores in October, 2010. Nick Kent is considered to be the best music critic in Britain of the 1970’s, he had co-operated with New Musical Express, The Face and currently gets published in The Guardian and many other British or French issues. Besides that, Kent was closely related to the creation of the British punk, he was responsible for the literary and media side of it. Generally speaking the music criticism is one of those jobs which surround music in a very particular way. These journalists are making the aura around it, even though usually they’re not writing the music itself.
