*well, without furher ado- this story came out earlier today---

By Trista Kelley
April 3 (Bloomberg) -- Rolling Stones guitarist Keith
Richards has admitted snorting his father's ashes, Agence France-
Presse said, citing Richards.
``The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My father, I
snorted my father,'' AFP cited Richards as saying in an interview
with the New Musical Express magazine. ``He was cremated and I
couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit'' of cocaine,
the news agency cited Richards as saying. ``It went down pretty
well and I'm still alive,'' he said.
Richards, whose father Bert died in 2002 aged 84, co-wrote
Rolling Stones hits including ``Brown Sugar'' and ``Miss You,''
and was also the inspiration for Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow
character in ``Pirates of the Caribbean,'' the newswire said.

At one point I was tempted to title it "Keith Richards blows his father.", but decided against it.

That's about the only reaction I had as well.

doing the deed was bad enough, confessing it was worst. I think he just feels outdone by the young guys in the game so he has to be more raw. He wins.

That was my first thought.....but really, if there is anyone that WOULD do something like that.....Keith is on the short list!

I dont know how true it is, but I've been told by several folks that this practice is more common that one would like to believe. I've heard of more than one "snorting funeral" being given to prominent Key West residents.

Did anybody catch Keith on the RnR HOF induction? He looked good, was funny in a self-deprecating sort of way. I like the guy too.

I like his music too. It's just that he should have died decades ago from all the s**t he has put into his body ( including his father ) !!
Maybe this will make people rethink their wishes to be cremated.
I can hear it now : " What are we going to do with dear old Mom? Do you want to keep her on Your Mantle? Nah - Let's snort her!!"
