Old Louis looks 20 years younger here than he did 10 years before when I saw him in Manchester.

Old Louis looks 20 years younger here than he did 10 years before when I saw him in Manchester.
Lou looked like death warmed up in the mid-70s, but I think he went on a health kick afterwards didn’t he?
Looking like a corpse was all the rage back then. Keith Richard’s look from 1973/74; black teeth, missing teeth, clammy yellow skin and greasy hair set the standard. Bowie mastered it too. It looks like Keith outlived them all by not going on a health kick!
