	i think it's just about someone who sits around all day slacking, and well does drugs, the riffs the best part though

No Picture Simon Average	#2 by Simon Donovan at Jan 10, 2006 at 7:31 AM EST
	Keith Richards is a brilliant fucking musician.

No Picture Manu Professional Badass	#3 by Manu at Jan 25, 2006 at 1:30 PM EST
