It is astonishing, isn't it? I'm reading Sirens of Titan right now and luck is such a big theme in it. You can always increase your odds by healthy living, but nothing is guaranteed. It really comes down to dumb luck.

Keith Richards is alive. Hard to think of a more improbable thing.

Please implore your children and children’s children to leave a better world for Keith Richards.

Keith Richards actually died sometime in 1983, but the doctors forgot to tell him.

Occasionally he spends a year dead for tax purposes.

I once saw him described as an animate assemblage of drugs.
