Keith Richards fogeying again

Keith Richards tells Uncut he does not listen to contemporary acts or like CDs, and dismisses Arctic Monkeys, Oasis and the Sex Pistols.

Keith Richards has been saying more things, this time about how he doesn't listen to contemporary acts, because he doesn't like CDs. Or downloads, presumably. Which sounds to me like an excuse for the fact that he's getting old and can't be bothered to keep up any more. He told Uncut: "I don't listen to what's going on. I don't like CDs, quite honestly. They sound tinny to me. I've not even heard the Arctic Monkeys. I know of them but I don't know anything they've done. I didn't like Oasis, I didn't like the Sex Pistols, I don't like any of those English rock n' roll bands. They're all crap".

Yeah, they're not a patch on the good old bands. Like the Stones, no doubt.
