Quote of the, well, Eternity: "I Snorted My Father"


In comments published Tuesday, Keith Richards, 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.

Roxie's comments: 1) ew, ew and ewwwww. 2) and you thought all that sniffling was due to sadness.
Happy Easter to all the Gentiles, nonetheless...

Not to worry, Roxie... It was debunked as a tardy April Fool's joke.

If a *plausible* one... *8-)
