Title: Keith Richards: 'I Snorted My Father' Post by: Gutboy Barrelhouse on April 03, 2007, 12:46:48 PM LONDON (AP) - Keith Richards has acknowledged consuming a raft of illegal substances in his time, but this may top them all.
In comments published Tuesday, the 63-year-old Rolling Stones guitarist said he had snorted his father's ashes mixed with cocaine. "The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father," Richards was quoted as saying by British music magazine NME. "He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn't have cared," he said. "... It went down pretty well, and I'm still alive." Richards' father, Bert, died in 2002, at 84. Richards, one of rock's legendary wild men, told the magazine that his survival was the result of luck, and advised young musicians against trying to emulate him. "I did it because that was the way I did it. Now people think it's a way of life," he was quoted as saying. "I've no pretensions about immortality," he added. "I'm the same as everyone ... just kind of lucky. "I was No. 1 on the `who's likely to die' list for 10 years. I mean, I was really disappointed when I fell off the list," Richards said. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Keith your NOT the same as everyone, I have never wanted to "snort people"............ bah drugs are stupid.

Quote I was reading an interview with Keith Richards in a magazine and in the interview Keith Richards intimated that kids should not do drugs. Keith Richards! Says that kids should not do drugs! Keith, we can't do any more drugs because you already fucking did them all, alright! There's none left! We have to wait 'till you die and smoke your ashes! Jesus Christ! Talk about the pot and the fuckin' kettle. Title: Re: Keith Richards: 'I Snorted My Father' Post by: stray on April 03, 2007, 01:13:38 PM Heh. Saw that earlier.
... Not a rolemodel of course, but I still think Keith is one of the coolest dudes who ever lived (not related to this story. Just saying).

I guess you can get peoples' ashes turned into an artificial diamond. That would make a hell of an engagement ring.
Man: *bends knee, presents ring* Will you marry me? Woman: *gasp* Yes! Yes I will! Man: You know that ring used to be my mother. Woman: Heh, I think you meant to say that it used to belong to your mother. Man: No. |
