I'll bet Dave Chappelle is busy right this minute, writing a new skit.

I heard on the radio he died of "natural causes". (muffled laughter and tittering).

As much as he abused his body over the years, I ain't surprised...

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

They announced it to head up the Noon news on KCAL Channel 9 in Los Angeles.

I actually heard an interview a few years ago where James discussed his stint in prison for narcotics charges.

If he was to be believed-and I have no reason to doubt his word-he actually had corrections officers bring in certain women for conjugal relations.

Apparently, his celebrity stretched well into the 'concrete jungle.'

Found dead in his apartment. Death thought to be of natural causes.

Coke is from the coca leaf, and therefore is natural.

Any idea how young he was? I imagine he was mid-40s?

I am still looking for verification link -- but I know what I saw/heard.

Keith Richards has been brain dead for decades.

"...YEAH, he put his boots on the couch."


That wins my personal "Response Of The Day" award.

What a hilarious skit that was!

Quick, someone put a mirror under Keith's nose and see if he's still breathing!
