Keith Richards: 'I Snorted My Father'

Apr 3 2007 - LONDON (AP) - 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.

What's that metal shit on his left ear?

 

He looks like a testicle

 

indeed.

 

Ick. That is freaking messed up.

 

what kind of moustache is that????

 

apparently all the follicles in the center of the upper lip have been so thoroughly damaged that they can no longer grow hair.

 

A scarey one, that's what.

 

the upper half of his face is clearly falling off....

 

By the Goddess! the Cryptkeeper returns!!!

 

It's a Dylanstache.

 

Ive said it before, Keith Richards continues to live on by sucking the souls out of fans and...family members, either by sniffing them up or devouring them interavenously.

 

is he actually alive, or does he appear alive through animatronics??
