I ask spaw and mick if they know Keef to criticize him. Your harsh judgments are based only on what the tabloids of the sensationalism of the media tells you. He is one of the best blues guitarists alive today and well respected in the music industry. He has survived probably because deep down is a decent human being and father. He was young and highly influenced by the temptations of what the 'rock' world tempted him when he fell onto the world of drugs, and booze. But has survived and prevailed.
