Rocker Richards pardoned at last
Rolling Stone member Keith Richards is set to be pardoned - for a 31-year-old driving offence in US state Arkansas.The veteran guitarist was arrested in the town of Fordyce in July 1975 for reckless driving and fined $162.20.
After Richards referred to the incident during a March concert in state capital Little Rock, Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee offered to clear his record.
"I realised his impression of our state was marred by a misdemeanour traffic stop," he told news agency Reuters.
"I wanted to clear his record in Arkansas as a goodwill gesture."
Presumably the Stones will still do "Sweet Neocon" at their concerts...
