I'm going to have to stop buying guitars!!

I guess I should have said acquired instead of bought !

I remember a new item from a few years ago where a guy handed Keef a guitar as he was stepping into a limo, wanting him to sign an autograph on the guitar for him. Instead, Keef thought the guitar was being given to him, and the limo drove away with Keef holding the guitar and the owner at the curbside saying:

"Hey, Keith Richards just stole my guitar!"

The guitar's owner filed a complaint with the police, the news item got published internationally and it ended with Keef returning the guitar and mumbling something like:

"Oh, sorry, man, I thought you were giving it to me..."

So if an incident like that could happen, that indicates to me that lots of folks actually DO give guitars to Keith Richards. I'm sure that he pays for some of the instruments he acquires, but I'm equally sure that he doesn't have to pay for all of them.
