What would Keith Richards do_ - Jessica Pallington West [77]
Heat a large skillet. Add beef and onions. Season with salt and pepper. Add carrots and beef stock. Mix in corn starch and cook ten minutes. Pour into pie dish and top with mashed potatoes. Place under broiler until potatoes begin to turn brown.
Makes 6 servings
Note: Shepherd’s pie can be made with either beef or lamb, although as a beef dish it is also referred to as cottage pie. Grated cheese is optional but should definitely be left out of Keith’s pie, considering it is the one thing he will never put in his body.

REFERENCES
The quotations from Keith Richards that appear throughout the book come from a wide variety of sources and more than four decades of media. Some pieces provided more material than others, particularly the Rolling Stone interviews, and interviews in Uncut, New Music Express, Mojo, Raygun, Vanity Fair, GQ, Esquire, Guitar World, and Guitar Player. The interviewers in these publications had a talent for drawing out great lines from Keith on many different subjects.
An important video source was the documentary 25×5: The Continuing Adventures of the Rolling Stones. The six biographies referenced (by Barbara Charone, Alan Clayson, Kris Needs, Victor Bockris, Stanley Booth, and Christopher Sandford) all provided an excellent overview of Keith’s life. The Booth and Bockris biographies provided a particularly rich source of quotations.
Significant sources were the interviews conducted by Jas Obrecht and his associates for Guitar Player in the early 1990s, then printed over the next several years in that publication as well as others.
