Keith Richards has recently indicated an interest in librarianship:
SHHH! Keith Richards, the grizzled veteran of rock’n’roll excess, has confessed to a secret longing: to be a librarian. After decades spent partying in a haze of alcohol and drugs, Richards will tell in his forthcoming autobiography that he has been quietly nurturing his inner bookworm.
Honestly, I cannot quite imagine him at the reference desk, but I CAN imagine how Keith as a librarian could be a mind altering experience for everyone who thinks librarians are quiet, staid, rule bound individuals. Just having Keith make his interest known could be great for us all! Not only does Richards' image change that impression, Richards gets that the public library is "the great equalizer" ...a statement that when spoken from a rock star may resonate more with some in the general public than when they hear it from the academy (in higher ed, that is).
What do you think? Shall we find a library school for Keith?
