Die already please. Why do they cover this wanker? Guitar great Keith Richards is reportedly embracing the joys of suburban Connecticut life The Rolling Stones' legendary bad-boy, who soon will celebrate his 59th birthday, tells Rolling Stone magazine much of his time is spent reading, sailing around Long Island Sound and driving his teen-age daughters to school, not partying all night and ingesting every type of drug imaginable like he used to "Patti (Hansen) and I go out once a week if there's something on in town -- take the old lady out for dinner with a bunch of flowers," Richards tells the magazine But, that doesn't mean Richards is planning to give up his job as rock star "You keep going, and why not? You're fighting upstream against this preconception that you can't do this at this age," he confides. "But I don't flaunt it. I've never tried to stay up longer than anybody else just to announce to the media that I'm the toughest." Richards also reveals the major difference between how he and fellow Rolling Stone Mick Jagger live their lives "Mick has to dictate to life. He wants to control it. To me, life is a wild animal. You hope to deal with it when it leaps at you," Richards explains. "(Mick) can't go to sleep without writing out what he's going to do when he wakes up. I just hope to wake up, and it's not a disaster." Richards and Jagger, as well as the rest of the Stones, performed at New York's Madison Square Garden last night
