Keith Richards has been brain dead for decades.

So has Ozzy Osborne and he leveraged those last 2 brain cells into a pretty lucrative income flow.

No, he didn't write it... it was some other guy in the Commodores - William King, I think? I heard his wife wrote it while he was sleeping LOL

Cocaine is a helluva drug.

Just heard about Rick James on the radio and immediately thought about the Dave Chappelle $50 mil contract thread.

"Cocaine is a helluva drug."

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

Put a "line" on it -- if it dissapears, you'll know (or not?).

I wonder if Keith Richards is next...

Richards was embalmed back in '87, and he hasn't played a guitar lick since. His agent just keeps propping up his corpse on stage for concerts.

I'll put money on this one.

This guy's life has been attached to a cocaine IV drip.

The site looks like it is getting overwhelmed.

Somehow I can see something like "Mr. James will not let his recent health difficulty keep him from performing for his fans..." then a concert a la "Weekend At Bernie's."

I think without Sharon he would have cashed in those last two brain cells yrs ago and today either be dead or competing for security work with Mr. Coleman.

Geez.....I meant Richards, not Moon!

There's a hilarious Denis Leary routine about Richards and drugs!
