Featuring exclusive clips of an increasingly intoxicated Keith Richards during a 2002 interview by Adam Sweeting, this week's RBP podcast could be described as a Rolling Stones special if there weren't so many other things being discussed. Lauding Keef as the band's heart and soul and asking "how has this man made it to 75", Mark Pringle and Barney Hoskyns wax lyrical about the brilliant Performance. Directed by the late Nicolas Roeg and Donald Cammell – with a Jack Nitzsche soundtrack Barney describes as one of the "creepiest, weirdest, but most mesmerising" he's ever heard, Performance sums up the transition from '60s flower power to something altogether darker and spookier, with the Stones themselves at "the centre of a vortex of social change". Other topics under consideration include Elvis Presley, the Beastie Boys, Paul Weller, Fleetwood Mac, Ice Cube and Gary Barlow's envy of of Robbie Williams...
Produced by Jasper Murison-Bowie
Pieces discussed: Keef gets drunk, Nic Roeg's Performance, Performance reviewed, Jack Nitzsche on Performance's soundtrack, 2018's best music journalism, Beastie Boys, the self-professed 'Dean of Rock Critics', Brenda Lee, Elvis Presley, The Jam, Fleetwood Mac, Ice Cube and Gary Barlow.
