Keith Richards snorted dad’s ashes, but without cocaine
Zee News

London, Aug 03: Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards has admitted that he snorted his dad’s ashes, but insisted that he did not inhale it with cocaine.

In April this year, the rocker made news after a magazine reported that he had revealed that he drew in the ashes during a cocaine spree.

The 63-year-old, who is penning his autobiography, said that ingesting ‘ancestors is very respectful’.

“The cocaine bit was rubbish. I said I chopped him up like cocaine, not with. I’d opened his box up and said, ‘Jesus, I’ve got to do something with dad, y’know, plant the oak tree,” the Daily Express quoted him, as saying.

“I pulled the lid off and out comes a bit of dad on the dining room table. I’m going, ‘I can’t use the brush and dustpan for this’. So you just gotta like, put it together.”

“What I found out is that ingesting your ancestors is a very respectable way of… y’know, he went down a treat.”

After his dad’s death in 2002, Richards lost his mum in 2007 and he recollects that he played guitar to her sitting beside her

“I sat on the end of her bed two days before she kicked the bucket,. I brought round a guitar and sat there and played to her. She’s gasping by now, she’s out of there, y’know. ‘Bye bye mum, see you tomorrow.’

“Next morning she wakes up and tells my secretary, who goes round to see her every day: ‘Did you hear Keith play? He was a bit out of tune.’ To the end, man. Acid.”

I was actually watching some show that I came across, it was that Kathy Griffith show or whatever, maybe Griffin, but she threw her dads ashes out somewhere. What came to mind was "I wonder what would happen if she snorted those ashes instead" then I read this article. Weird timing.
 
Why was this a big deal again? Everyone mourns and honors their loved ones in different ways, do human ashes have rights now or something?

LOL I remember seeing an article about some teenagers robbing a grave to turn a skull into a bong, and the moral outrage over it. I remember thinking I hope when I'm dead someone finds a use for my remains instead of just leaving them in the ground.
 
Why's everyone talking about Keith Richards like he's even a normal or respect-worthy person? He's obviously mildly retarded, and about as plastic as any celebrity. His very existence is to be an entertaining and nonsensical carricature.
 
I did two rails of the ashes of a friend. There's no risk my publicist will deny it; it's reality and no need for any denials.

The friend in question was a medical doctor, and enjoyed any number of recreational compounds. Before his death, we joked about how, if he were cremated, someone doing lines of him would probably get a hell of a buzz. The joke turned into his request that we do this as a celebration of his life, if he passed on before us.

Not more than a few months later, he died. Things like that happen in the world of fixed-object jumping.

Anyway, a bunch of us were together on a trip and someone had a bit of his ashes along. So in a public restaurant in a small town in Washington state, we lined him up and away we went. It's not much fun - lots of grit and a nasty drip. Alas, no buzz either. The locals were not amused by our antics, and we left the diner in a rush before the authorities arrived. Explaining that we weren't snorting illegal drugs, but rather ashes of a dead friend, was not something we thought would lead to good things. Perhaps choosing a public venue for the ritual wasn't such a great idea, with the benefit of hindsight.

It was an out-there way to celebrate the life - and mourn the passing - of an out-there friend. We all have our ways of processing death; those of us who have processed lots of deaths in our time perhaps end up with a bit more of a twist than is otherwise normal.

What's the big fuss about anyway? At that point, it's just ashes - the act is symbolically powerful, but on a practical level one might as well be railing dirt for all the difference it makes to the dead person in question.

Peace,

Fausty
 
Controldenied.... holy shit.. this guy is a mega fiend and just keeps on trucking! RESPECT!!!!!!
 
i would snort keith richards. mad respect just for being alive.

"perhaps thats why keith can not be killed by conventional weapons" - WW2
 
Eh, maybe he wanted to keep a part of his dad in him. ;) Some cultures actually rub the ashes of their dead all over them.

No stranger than mixing in gun powder with your coke and snorting that.
 
^^thats exactly what I was thinking and im suprised noone thought of that earlier.

I would totally snort my mums ashes, call me a freak, but i totally understand the part about keeping a part of someone inside of you. In a way its like when kids spit on their hand, then shake. Or when 2 people have a wound and they mix their blood together, like blood brothers.

I think its pretty cool, and I would be honored if someone snorted my ashes lol (im not going to ask someone to do that lol)
