You know you’re doing too many drugs when Keith Richards gets upset over it.
Rolling Stone Ron Wood admits he was freebasing so much cocaine at one point that Richards "had turned into Mr. Drug Enforcement Administration."
"Everybody was angry with me around this time, and after a row with Keith one day, he stormed off to get his gun," Wood writes in his new memoir "Ronnie" (St. Martin’s Press). "He returned with his derringer, pointed it at me and yelled ‘You f—ing b—!’ I calmly pulled out my .44 Magnum. And that was the last time Keith drew his gun on me … until the next time."
The two guitarists fought again in a hotel room while on tour, Wood adds. "He barged in, broke the glass bowl of the pipe, and came straight at my face. … He smashed a bottle and cut me with it. I stormed out and went to find Mick [Jagger] and Charlie [Watts ], who were working on a song in a room along the corridor. While I stood there bleeding all over the carpet, Mick looked up and asked: Have you got any ideas for the middle eight?’"
I think Keith was on too many drugs. It effected his judgment so he thought doing drugs was ok for him, but bad for other people. Maybe he just wanted all the drugs for himself?
