Keith Richards tells of snorting his dads ashes with cocaine | Special reports | Guardian Unlimited — This is just too screwy. Geez.
Keith Richards admits ingesting all manner of substances in his time. But none quite as bizarre as he reveals in his latest confession: he snorted his fathers ashes.
In a wide-ranging interview published today, the 63-year-old veteran of tequila breakfasts and drug marathons described how he once sampled his fathers ashes mixed with cocaine. “The strangest thing Ive tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father,” he told NME magazine.
“He was cremated and I couldnt resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldnt have cared, he didnt give a shit. It went down pretty well, and Im still alive.”
What I thought was even weirder, was this:
“I’ve no pretensions about immortality … I was number one on the Who’s ‘Likely To Die’ list for 10 years. I mean, I was really disappointed when I fell off the list.”
What’s the saying: The GOOD die young? Make your own implications.
J/P=?
Those guys are living fossils. I mean, it’s good that they’re still around I guess, but a lot of great musicians lived better/played better and didn’t last. Doesn’t seem right, somehow.
This is why Keith cannot be killed by conventional weapons.
Oh, come on.. Is anyone really surprised by this? If you get any sort of powder near Keith Richards you have consider the possibility it will end up going up his nose.
Now I don’t feel so bad about snorting baby powder out from between the cheeks of my girlfriends behind.
Good to hear Kieth’s Dad is still in the news.
Just a joke….
read this dummies!
It didn’t run on April 1 and was in the Guardian..so it must be true!
So the hell-raiser’s manager insists it was just a joke. R-i-i-i-ight.
3 – What’s it take, a silver bullet? wooden stake? Baptist with a Bible?
Who really cares?
