quote: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.
Maybe the Stones can rephrase some of their lyrics for their next geriatric tour or Best of CD.
~"You can't always get what you want" “We went down to the demonstration To get your fair share of abuse Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration If we don't we're gonna blow Keith’s dad up our nose”
~ “Wild Horses” “I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie I have my freedom, but I don't have much time Faith has been broken, tears must be cried Let's do some living after we've snorted Keith’s dad.”
~“Brown Sugar” (Powder Sugar?) I said yeah, yeah, yeah, woo ”How come you...how come you taste so good? Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo Just like a...just like snortin’ Dad’s ashes should Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo”
~“All Down the Line” Yeah, heard the diesel drumming all down the line. Oh, heard the wires a humming all down the line. Yeah, hear the women sighing all down the line. Oh, hear the children crying all down the line, I see and hear Keith snortin’ Bert’s ashes all down the line.”
OK, HATRACKERS, any other lyrical ideas for Mick and Keith?
"Tom, I don't know exactly how you're going to take this, but I'm afraid I'm pretty certain that after you die, I'm going to have to snort some of you."
He said "Will there be any blow in it?"
And I said "Naw, man. I'm drug free."
And he said "Good, good, maybe put some snuff in there to make me tastier, but no blow."

Oh, come on, this is a surprise to anyone? Just LOOK at Keith Richards! I think he died in 1972 and has been a walking zombie since.
"Keith Richards for a Drug Free America"... Thanks, Keith, but we can't do drugs anymore because you've done them all already!Posts: 3486 | Registered: Sep 2002

Greedy Texans. Bidding up the price to $500 per head. It ain't even as if Texans know how to do a proper barbeque.
