"I snorted my father" - Keith Richards

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.

OH MY GOD....

I'm shocked but I also laughed at that quote.

He's one crazy fucker to be quite honest. :D

So, basically what he's saying is that I should snort a little bit of my Grandpa and I'll be immortal? Sweet deal! Eat it, Kurgan!

Well...oh my...

I remember this guy I used to have art class with back in high school...well, he told me that when he died, he wanted his homies to smoke his ashes along with some grass...but cocaine...wow, this is a first....lol

That is fucking sick and disgusting.

But the good kind of sick and disgusting.

sounds like a normal cornish friday night to me...

ah Keith :o)

Oh wow...

Im just being honest :p

I read about this....
You know, I've always wondered how it is he's managed to live this long when he's done all this stupid, crazy shit.
This tops it all.
That's all I can say really

They have a thing now where you can have jewelry made from your deceased's ashes. Something about carbon something or other. I think that's a better idea but to each his own.

Luck, I guess.

Now I think about it I wouldn't mind eating my mother's corpse with some some Bernaise sauce when the time comes along.

I've heard about that. I think it's nice for a pet, but I can't imagine wearing a relative's ashes...let alone SNORTING them.
