Poetry. Literature. Songs. Music. If asked a practical, typical individual without much insight into either of these, they would say that they are four different mediums of art. In a way, they actually are, but obviously, there's more to the story than that. They are an intermingled medium with aspects that are incomplete without each other. It is almost invisible to the naked eye, or the naked ear in this example, to distinguish between one and the other but the connection felt through the heart (the connection Keith Richards was talking about) is evidence enough for the significance of each of them in an individual's life.
It is extremely hard to achieve a mastery to where one's writing, mind, and thoughts flow smoothly from one to the other without consciously thinking about them and once that is achieved, one will himself become the masterpiece instead of creating one. I believe that is what Richards's quote means - it is the passion in one's heart that almost forces him to make a difference and somehow form a connection between these four, yet one, mediums in life and make the kind of difference that is almost unimaginable. If that connection is felt, it's as if a glass of beer is given to an alcoholic - it's almost addictive. That kind of obsession is what keeps us all going; for some it's money, for some it's fame, for some it's love, for some it's satisfaction, for some it's happiness - whatever it is and however it is that one persona can connect with another, a new life is formed and a new flower is blossomed.
