“I was traveling with The Rolling Stones watching from the sidelines when I noticed the sign, I called Keith over and took two quick snaps. The customs officer threatened to confiscate the film, so I retired quickly. I knew what I had” -Ethan Russell

“Some of my most outrageous nights - I can only believe actually happened because of corroborating evidence. NO wonder I’m famous for partying. The ultimate party- if it is any good- you can’t remember it “ - Keith Richards

“Surely this is one of the great rock photos of all time. Cheeky and subversive and anarchic. We were all rebels once, myself included and thought it was our right and duty to change the world we lived in” – Peter Fetterman
