Keith Richards: `I Snorted My Father'
By Associated Press
2 hours ago
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. "... 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.

Um...
I'm suddenly very, very cold.I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore -
Maybe I'm just crazy but that doesn't sound so strange to me.

Publicity stunt, folks.
He's got a movie to promote.."Pirates of the Caribbean, The World's End"(or something like that).
What a better way than that???"SOME PEOPLE CALL ME MAURICE,

Eh, he's too stupid for it to be for publicity. The guy is a major candy head, but this may or may not be true.
I think PoC:3 gets by on name recognition alone anyways.
Either way, 10 points to him for even coming up with something this effed up....:eek: -

He MAY be too stupid, but his or the studio's publicist isn't. I still know SEVERAL people that don't know that he's playing Cpt. Jack Sparrow's father.
BTW, in reality, Keith Richards isn't an idiot, by any means. He's just a drug abuser and a very wealthy one, too.
Has anyone else noticed that Keith looks better now, than he did 35 years ago??"SOME PEOPLE CALL ME MAURICE,

I don't think trying drugs and getting hooked makes you a stupid person since we all have made mistakes, but I do think doing drugs for almost your entire life until you're 63 years old kind of makes you an idiot by it's very definition.
I just doubt it's a publicity stunt anymore than him falling out of a coconut tree and almost killing himself was a publicity stunt. It's a miracle this guy is still alive. -
Did you see in Blender where his projected year of death was 1987?:pI never had it like this where I grew up.

Yeah, that was funny stuff. I think even that was being generous.
The real amusing thing about this whole thing is that if it is true, it means he did it in the last 5 years....
...guess we finally have an answer to the question of whether hard partying rock stars would ever settle down with age. :eek: -
So who do you think has had a rougher go of it...
Keith Richards or Shane McGowan?I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore.

I heard about it yesterday on the radio, all I could think was...
You have got to be kidding...
I heard this morning on the same radio station that this was in reality a joke that was started a few years ago by Mick Jagger, obviously after his father passed away.David -

As much as I may enjoy rock music...I quit paying attention to anything so called "rock stars" do in their personal lives a long time ago. If they are interesting because of intelligent behavior or genuine substance...that is one thing. But anything that has to do with bizzare, outrageous, publicity, politics, etc...I could care less. I've never been a Stones or Richards fan anyway...so knock yourself out Keith...snort away. :rolleyes:"Just because youre offended doesnt mean youre right." - Ricky Gervais

Richards Denies Snorting His Dad's Ashes

In this March 12, 2007, file photo, Keith Richards ...
LONDON - Keith Richards was joking when he claimed to have snorted his father's ashes along with cocaine, a spokesman said Wednesday.
"It was an off-the-cuff remark, a joke, and it is not true. File under April Fool's joke," said Bernard Doherty of LD Communications, which represents the Rolling Stones.
Doherty declined to say any more about why Richards made the statement in an interview with NME, a pop music magazine.
"The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father," the 63-year-old guitarist was quoted as saying.
"He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn't have cared ... It went down pretty well, and I'm still alive."
Richards' father, Bert, died in 2002, at 84.

He won't need make-up if he is playing a living dead fella. -

Demi, some guys get the disease so bad that they cant' stop. I've known quite a few really good guys who were so addicted that they just couldn't stop. They try and try and always end up back in that hell. I can think of one guy in particular who got 90 days sober at the age of 63 and died in his sleep. I thinks he was spared by God any more of that living hell !
The problem is that the human body becomes so dependant on the drug to live after having it for so many years that when it is taken away at a late age it cries out for the drug so it can keep ticking. That's not a mental thing, it becomes a physiological pathology. -
i think he did in fact snort his fathers ashes.. now is just backtracking . the dude is FU'd UP if you ask me. 40+ years of doing every kind of drug known to man, how can that not screw you up?PolkFest 2012, who's going>?

Calling it a disease is a bunch of **** and a slap in the face to every person who has cleaned their life up. I know all about addiction and dependence having a close family member who went through it. The last thing he'd do is excuse it as a disease, but hey, this debate has been had on this forum a couple years ago and I have no desire to get back into it again. :mad:
Keith Richards is still an idiot.
