Keith Richards talks about hearing 'Heartbreak Hotel' for the first time
Rolling Stones guitar player Keith Richards has just released his biography. In it he states: Good records just get better with age. But the one that really turned me on, like an explosion one night, listening to Radio Luxembourg on my little radio when I was supposed to be in bed and asleep, was 'Heartbreak Hotel'.

When I woke up the next day I was a different guy.
