Keith Richards says he snorted father's ashes[mixed with cocaine, 'went down pretty well']

LONDON - 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, adding that “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.

From Dennis Leary, “No Cure For Cancer”:

“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 f-—ing 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 f-—in’ kettle.”

When a poster does not add search keywords, how in the world will turn up in a search ?

Instead of doing a search for a keyword, I search using By Title (Date).

Doing a search for Keith Richards gets you these results.

Why would any person with an ounce of being decent do such a stunt?

Coke-head is as coke-head does.

He knows classic American rock and blues music - there should be no doubt about that. The Stones stole left and right from them.

And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that either.

Agreed on both counts.
