“The 1972 tour was known by other names – the Cocaine and Tequila Sunrise tour or the STP, Stones Touring Party. It was the beginning of the booking of whole hotel floors, with no one else allowed up, so that some of us – like me – could get privacy and security....The whole entourage had exploded in terms of numbers, of roadies and technicians, and of hangers-on and groupies. For the first time, we traveled in our own hired plane, with the lapping tongue painted on. We had become a pirate nation, moving on a huge scale under our own flag, with lawyers, clowns, attendants.”—Keith Richards, Life (2010)“Pirate nation”—why, 30 years before he got the part, Keith Richards was already preparing for his role as Jack Sparrow’s dad in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End. If that’s not method acting, I don’t know what is!
