Keith Richards and His Pie
The Rolling Stones are back on the road, and there is one thing that has remained the same…
If you remember, on the last tour Keith Richards tweeted a photo out from his dressing room of the only food he wants after a show..It seems that nothing has changed for Keith.
The Stones are back on tour and Keith is still finding room to fit in a few slices of shepherds pie.
