I said, 'Ah, you know, there’s been a lot of deleting and editing going on here. Paul’s a great guy, man. I mean, Jesus Christ, look at the songs he’s written. You can't knock a guy like that. We let little things that come out in the press and kind of ignore them, you know what I mean."  Keith Richards has become a Zen Master! Read the full "Rolling Stone" interview HERE.
