Keith Richards: 'I snorted my father' 41 minutes 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

So it seems.

I couldn't decide if it equates to incest, necrophilia, cannibalism or plain desperation.

Probably the latter.

My father died in Belize in 1998, we had a big party and cut some of his ashes into a big pile of blow..how bizarre to read that now.

Keith Richards is lucky to be alive. Substance abuse has destroyed whatever brain cells he might have had.

There are three different posts about this now. Is this site even moderated anymore at all?

I don't see anything wrong with it. What better way to bond with the old man than having him in your bloodstream?

What I would have done with my dad is inject him into my nutsack and try to impregnate a woman to rebirth him. But that's just me.
