Richards Denies Snorting His Dad's Ashes



LONDON - Keith Richards was joking when he claimed to have snorted his father's ashes along with cocaine, a spokesman said Wednesday.
"It was an off-the-cuff remark, a joke, and it is not true. File under April Fool's joke," said Bernard Doherty of LD Communications, which represents the Rolling Stones.

Doherty declined to say any more about why Richards made the statement in an interview with NME, a pop music magazine.

"The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father," the 63-year-old guitarist was quoted as saying.

"He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn't have cared ... It went down pretty well, and I'm still alive."

Richards' father, Bert, died in 2002, at 84.

Oddly enough, I think Cake says it best:

Aging black leather and hospital bills,
Tattoo removal and dozens of pills,
Your liver pays dearly now, for youthful magic moments,
But rock on completely with some brand new components.

Now how do you afford your rock n roll lifestyle?
