I’ve just watched this film.

If, like me, you come to The Afterword for the music I suspect you will, like me, love it.

I’m not going to try to describe or critique it – why would I, you can watch it for yourself.

I will just mention that

– after a couple of initial hur hur hur, gasp, growl, hur hur hur moments Keith Richards actually contributes some sensible stuff – Steve Cropper made me laugh out loud and also shed a tear – Bernard Fowler reminded me I have a Peech Boys single – I now admire Earl Slick

It’s available on iPlayer for a while yet – if you watch it maybe it will generate an enjoyable discussion here.
