ROLLING STONES’ ROCKER ADMITS HE SNORTED OWN FATHER’S ASHES

FITSNews - April 4, 2007 - If you’re anything like us, then you know nothing says good times quite like good cocaine. Especially when you mix it with the cremated remains of a dead relative. Boy oh boy, now we’re talking party time! Like when Rolling Stones’ guitarist Keith Richards’ ground up his dad into a line of blow. And then snorted him. From Actress Archive:

Keith Richards, who is famous for his superhuman ability to consume massive amounts of drugs over the years and still be alive, revealed that he wanted to give his old man a unique send off after his cremation. Richards elabroated, “The strangest thing I’ve tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father. He was cremated and I couldn’t resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow.” If you are wondering what his father would have thought of Keith’s behavior if he was still alive, Richards reveals, “My dad wouldn’t have cared, he didn’t give a sh*t. It went down pretty well, and I’m still alive.”

It went down pretty well? That’s good to know, Keith. Oh, and mission accomplished on that whole “unique sendoff” thing. Most people just raise a glass of scotch while holding onto a photograph of their dearly departed loved ones, but where’s the fun in that? Seriously, take it to the next level, people. We also have to admire the journalistic foresight of whoever put “What’s the strangest thing you’ve ever tried to snort?” on their list of interview questions. Because we’re going to start asking that in all of our interviews from here on out.

All I can say is that when I was a legislative staffer, everyone came up with scratch.
