Keith Richards on Snorting His Dad’s Ashes. Or Not.
I thought it was sort of funny when Keith Richards said the following a few days ago:
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. My dad wouldn’t have cared, he didn’t give a shit. It went down pretty well, and I’m still alive.
Now, though, in the wake of Disney marketing folks saying they’re planning on having Keith not be especially involved in promotional efforts for the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean 3, here’s what Richards is saying:
The truth of the matter is that I planted a sturdy English oak tree. I took the lid off the box of ashes, and he is now growing oak trees and would love me for it!!! I was trying to say how tight Bert and I were. That tight!!! I wouldn’t take cocaine at this point in my life unless I wished to commit suicide.
Um, okay. Though that statement sure sounds like a “non-denial denial.”

I was laughing hillariously at work the other day when I read this story. Great post!
Damn right he snorted his dad. I’m not sure anyone is going to fall for a Disney extreme make-over of Keith Richards. Not anyone who has followed his career anyways.
