Keith Richards left the Westport Library quickly yesterday, soon after Ned Lamont presented him with the first-ever Connecticut Governor’s Award of Excellence.
But the governor hung around backstage, for a chat with Alisyn Camerota and Dave Briggs.
The 2 Westporters — veteran journalists with, among other outlets, CNN and Fox — have a new podcast: “Sanity.”
They’re naturals, asking intriguing questions in a casual, conversational style.

Governor Lamont clearly enjoyed their chat.
He talked about being a Rolling Stones “groupie,” who has seen at least one concert a decade from the 1970s through this one.
He showed off his Stones belt, revealed his favorite song, and discussed his 6-year quest to honor Richards (who finally awarded his “persistence”).
Briggs and Camerota then pivoted to politics. The governor mentioned areas where he can work with the Trump administration, and areas where he can’t.
The podcasters pressed him on whether he’ll run again (spoiler: he’ll decide by the end of the summer).
Finally, it was back to another pressing state matter: pizza.

Now that’s a Foto op that Tooker can’t touch.
“Oh NO! Not you again!!!
Effin’ up my life!!!
It was bad the first time.
I can’t stand it twice!!”
You sound like a very jealous white Westport woke liberal full of hate.
Thank god only a few states think like you do. And getting fewer.
Jealous Eric!! The entitled Westport punk.
The market returns under Biden are the second best in modern history going back to 1945. The best returns were under Bill Clinton. Trump is crapping in his underwear and walking back some tariffs because he keeps his eye on the markets and he’s worried.
Jeff..I think that you have misinterpreted what Eric wrote. Those are lyrics from a Stones song. Eric is one of the good ones..
Jeff, Take a look at the stock markets over the last 9 trading days! You’re going to be shocked over the next couple of months! We haven’t been in a Depression in 90 years. Watch what happens in the near future!
