[ archetype ] Ageing British rock star Rock star britannique sur le retour Photograph: Tim White Jack Daniel’s: The rock-god beverage of choice, drunk neat, straight from the bottle. Jack Daniel’s : La boisson des dieux du rock, sans glace, directement au goulot. NAME Mick Richards, frontman of The Steamed Rollers, one-time mop-topped cuties in sharp suits and skinny ties. Still hanging in there despite losing their drummer in ’69, their bassist in ’72 and their marbles fairly early on, thanks to a prodigious appetite for sex, drugs and rock’n’roll. Now irony-free purveyors of rawk, peddling sad old covers and hey-day hits. AGE Anywhere between 45 and 75. LIVES At the Chelsea Hotel in New York and a penthouse in South Ken in London with on-off twentysomething girlfriend Saskia Calthorpe-Blatherington-Stanley. WHO AM I? Stop draining my brain, man. You can’t pin me down. Free spirit, that’s me, baby. HANGOUTS The Marquee Club, Reading Festival, any club with a name that ends in A-Go-Go, anywhere Charlie Sheen is partying, anywhere with a defi brillator. EATS Coff ee, cigarettes, funny cigarettes, whiskey, chocolate HobNobs and Pepto-Bismol. WEARS Leather jackets, leather trousers, no pants, denim, fringed scarves, sunglasses and a gormless expression. Sometimes it’s a sexy expression, but only if Mick’s concentrating really hard. AS I WAS SAYING Um, yeah, right. What was I saying? PADDY JONES 138 metropolitan Stratomaster FenderBender Mark II: Mick got this back in ’63 when he was a mere strippling in a band called The Littlest Hobos. Aft er years perfecting his art, no one noodles on a middle eight quite like Mick. And just so you know, Hendrix got the idea to set his guitar on fi re from Mick one Saturday aft ernoon in a Fulham basement when Mick spilled his JD and coke on his guitar then dropped his fag in horror. Stratomaster FenderBender Mark II : Mick se l’est payée en 63 lorsqu’il n’était qu’un humble gratteux dans un groupe baptisé Les Petits Clodos. Après toutes ces années, personne ne fait un barré comme Mick. Détail important : Hendrix a piqué à Mick l’idée de mettre le feu à sa guitare. Un samedi soir, dans une cave de Fulham, ayant renversé son JD coca sur sa guitare, Mick fi t l’erreur de laisser tomber son mégot dessus. Hairy chest and big hair: Only big girls’ blouses would have a smooth waxed chest. And having always been blessed by a robust hairline, Mick knows the ladies just love to run their fi ngers through his luscious locks. Paillasson pectoral et moumoute : Seuls les éphèbes eff éminés se font waxer la poitrine. Ayant depuis toujours un cuir chevelu bien garni, Mick sait que les fi lles adorent caresser ses boucles abondantes. NOM Mick Richards, leader des Steamed Rollers, exrockers à la coupe yéyé, portant costard classe et cravate fi celle. Toujours là malgré la perte de leur batteur en 69, de leur bassiste en 72 et de leurs facultés mentales depuis longtemps grâce à un prodigieux appétit pour le sex, drugs & rock’n’roll. Désormais, ils remâchent leurs tubes d’antan. AGE Entre 45 et 75 ans. HABITE Au Chelsea Hotel à New York et dans un penthouse à Londres avec sa copine intermittente Saskia Calthorpe- Blatherington-Stanley, une jeune qui a la vingtaine. QUI SUIS-JE ? S Arrête de me gaver, mec. Je suis inclassable. Le free spirit c’est moa, baby. SORTIES Le Marquee Club, le festival de Reading, toute boîte dont le nom fi nit par A-Go-Go, partout où on peut rencontrer Charlie Sheen, du moment qu’il y a un défi brillateur. RÉGIME Café, cigarettes, cigarettes au chanvre, whiskey, Petits Écoliers et Pepto-Bismol. ARBORE Perfecto, futal cuir, pas de slip, jeans, écharpes à frange, lunettes de soleil et un regard vide. Parfois Mick arrive à avoir une expression sexy, mais seulement en faisant un gros gros eff ort. JE DISAIS DONC Ouais, euh, bon. Qu’est-ce je disais ?
