“There are cool cats and there are cool Memphis cats but no one, not
 Elvis, not Jerry Lee, not even the Wolf came close to epitomizing Memphis
 and cool like Jim Dickinson did. He was the Top Cat Daddy, an
 inspiration, a mentor and my friend.
If you knew his music and understood his role as one of the links between
 black and white culture and between blues and rock and roll, you know what
 I'm talking about. If he is unfamiliar to you, now's as good time as any
 to get to know him, even though he's checked out of the motel.”
--Joe Nick Patoski

Life with Keith Richards


Three years after Keith's ill-fated, cop-ridden stop at the 4 Dice Cafe in
Fordyce, Arkansas, July, 1975, Jim Dickinson apologized for advising Keith
to take the trip. Keith laughed, "No, man. That was the most fun I ever
had."

Read all about it in Chapter One of Keith's new autobiography, Life.

    mld, I am thrilled to read "Keif's" glowing accounts of Jimmy. There is a hole in my soul where Jim lived. Regards, gfm

    gfm, I agree about the hole in our souls. Today is Jim's birthday. (November 15). To celebrate I published the blog above- one of our favorite Christmases. God bless you, mld

    p.s. I too am thrilled to read "Keif's" validation of Jim in his "Life." I can't wait until you can read Jim's version of the story in his memoir, "Search for Blind Lemon."
