ZeroDamage April 4, 2007 Share ZeroDamage Member April 4, 2007 Other than this guy being about as wierd as they come.... I do not know how to comment about such a thing. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml.../03/nash103.xml Rolling Stone 'snorted father's ashes' By staff and agencies Last Updated: 7:54pm BST 03/04/2007 Rolling Stones wildman Keith Richards claims he snorted his own father's ashes during a drugs binge. Keith Richards snorted his father's ashes Richards is known for his hard-living lifestyle Richards made the extraordinary admission in an interview with NME magazine. "The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father," he said. "He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn't have cared, he didn't give a s***. "It went down pretty well, and I'm still alive." Richards' father, Bert, died in 2002 aged 84. The 63-year-old rocker also recounted his worst drugs experience. "It was when someone put strychnine in my dope. It was in Switzerland. I was totally comatose, but I was totally awake. I could listen to everyone, and they were like, 'He's dead, he's dead!', waving their fingers and pushing me about, and I was thinking, 'I'm not dead!'," . But he said: "I've no pretensions about immortality - I'm the same as everyone else - same as you, same as everybody. "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. "Some doctor told me I had six months to live and I went to their funeral. The obit columns are of quite an interest to me these days. I don't trust doctors. It's not to say there ain't some good ones, but on a general level, no, I wouldn't trust 'em at all." Richards predicted that Pete Doherty could be the next drugs casualty - and told him to leave supermodel Kate Moss alone. "My advice for Pete Doherty is that he should shut up and leave her," he said. "I don't know the man, all I know is he's pushing his luck and there it is, but so is Kate, who I know very well. "Kate wants to play with bad boys, and she's done one, and then another one, and then another one. Badabing, badabang, badaboom. She'll live, the boys will die." And he warned rock stars not to emulate his fabled drug-taking. "I did it because that was the way I did it. Now people think it's a way of life," he said. The Rolling Stones will kick off the European leg of their A Bigger Bang tour in June. Last year their touring was interrupted when Richards reportedly fell out of a palm tree while on holiday in Fiji. But Richards said: "I wasn't climbing a tree. I was sitting on a shrub. I was sitting on that shrub again today, but I happened to fall off it the wrong way that day." He underwent brain surgery after the accident and revealed: "I've been trepanned. That's quite an interesting experience, especially for my brain surgeon, who saw my thoughts flying around in my brain. I've got pictures of it, mate. They cut my head, brain, skull open, went in and pulled out the crap, and put some of it back again. The full interview is in the new issue of NME, out tomorrow.

ZeroDamage April 4, 2007 Author Share ZeroDamage Member April 4, 2007 UPDATE Keith Richard's Agent has informed the media that he was joking the whole time. When you joke about something like that, you make it obvious that you are joking. I actually believe that he did do it and is now working on Damage Control.

I'd believe that if Keith Richards gave a rats booty about damage control. He's not running for president here (although it seems snorting your father's ashes mixed with cocaine might actually help your running). It's not like ANYONE would stop listening to the Rolling Stones just because Keith snorted some of his father's ashes along with his morning pick-me-up. It just sounds like a junkie to me. One too many people take too seriously it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
