Keith Richards Still Carries Around a Knife
April 30th, 2008
One shouldn’t mess with Keith Richards on the street because he still carries around a knife with him for self defense. Even though it’s against the law, the Rolling Stones guitarist has a ratchet knife with a six-inch blade with him everywhere he goes and just tucks it in his pants. He admitted that he learned how to use it on a trip to Jamaica when he told Blender magazine:
“The actual cut doesn’t hurt. All the blood comes down, and then you kick the f**ker in the balls. It’s a very efficient way of dealing with problems. I learned it in Jamaica. I’ve always carried one”.
Apparently, he was busted for carrying the knife in 1975 when Arkansas police officers pulled over Richards and his bandmate Ronnie Woods and discovered the weapon. Although he was arrested, the knife charges were eventually dropped.
Yikes!
