Keith Richards has acknowledged consuming a raft of illegal substances in his time, but this may top them all. In comments published Tuesday, the 63-year-old Rolling Stones guitarist said he had snorted his father's ashes mixed with cocaine...

Wow.

Thats all that can be said.

WOW! I find that deeply disturbing and gross. (*insert vomiting emoticon here*)

Er....

Well that's an approach I hadn't considered.

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.

How scary is it that most people (me included) had no trouble believing Richards could have actually done it?

Look at this man and tell me you believe the damage control story more than the original. April fools joke my ***.

The writers/producers of Pirates of the Caribbean say that Johnny Depp framed his performance of Jack Sparrow after Keith Richards.

That's not a stretch, either. Makes me like PotC a smidge less after seeing that picture.

Not exactly. Johnny Depp took some of the character nuances of Captain Jack Sparrow from EARLY Keith Richards. It sure doesn't change my feelings about the movie.
