Keith Richards says he snorted father's ashes[mixed with cocaine, 'went down pretty well']
Boston Herald ^ | April 3, 2007 | Associated Press

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.

I went down to St Maarten way back before you could get a direct flight from Boston. We got on at JFK and Keith was sitting in 1st Class a few rows from the bulkhead. During the then four hour trip he drank: 1 bottle of wine, 3 Jack and Cokes, 3 Gin and Tonics and several Heineken beers. When you get off at Juliana Airport you all walk down the same stairs and go through the same Customs. So I said to Keith, “I thought you quit drinking?” He replied, “You call that drinking?”

I couldn’t tell you. You did the search and posted. Nothing to be overly embarrassed about. Happens to the best of us.

How bizarre!! But he’s been “snorting” for many years now — must have lost most of his brain functions by now. He’s a walking zombie - literally.

“it went down pretty well, and I’m still alive.”


Sort of sums up all of Keef’s life thus far. LOL.

He’s a little short on functioning brain cells.

Keith may be a lot of things but stupid is not one of them. I’ve read many, many things he’s said and he’s always impressed me as one very sharp cookie. A bit twisted and demented, no doubt, but stupid? No. Read his comments about Robert Johnson on the Robert Johnson CD anthology for example. Clapton also comments in there. I came away convinced that Keith could run circles around Clapton intellectually.

Before anyone throws stones at Richards and his lifestyle, it should be pointed out that he doesn't look a day over 85...

Lines Inscribed Upon A Cup Formed From A Skull
of one of his ancestors by Lord Byron
(1788-1824)

Start not—nor deem my spirit fled:
In me behold the only skull
From which, unlike a living head,
Whatever flows is never dull.

I lived, I loved, I quaffed like thee;
I died: let earth my bones resign:
Fill up—thou canst not injure me;
The worm hath fouler lips than thine.

Better to hold the sparkling grape
Than nurse the earthworm’s slimy brood,
And circle in the goblet’s shape
The drink of gods than reptile’s food.

Where once my wit, perchance, hath shone,
In aid of others’ let me shine;
And when, alas! our brains are gone,
What nobler substitute than wine?

Quaff while thou canst; another race,
When thou and thine like me are sped,
May rescue thee from earth’s embrace,
And rhyme and revel with the dead.

Why not—since through life’s little day
Our heads such sad effects produce?
Redeemed from worms and wasting clay,
This chance is theirs to be of use.
