All sorts of backpedalling today, 'specially as Disney has banned him from promoting the new 'Pirates of the Carribean' film, where he has a cameo appearance as Jack Sparrow's dad, Ironic, as Johhny Depp's character always was Keith by other means, to me, complete with all the gubbins in his hair, and the confident slur.

Quote:

the 63-year-old veteran of tequila breakfasts and drug marathons described how he once sampled his father's ashes mixed with cocaine. "The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father,"

Lock me down and coat me in jackboots if its been up before, but 'search' didn't find it.

Yeah, I saw that. Pretty screwed up if you ask me...

Strangely, at this point I'm watching Super Password on the Game Show Network, and the first two clues are 'ridiculous' and 'nose'.

Adds a whole new dimension to the term "nose job". Shocked

~Roycropper,

Depp acknowledges that Sparrow is largley based on Richards.

Allegedly a joke:

Hey, just saw this. He might be onto something there. Seriously though, it's probably BS. One of the great music industry myths was started by KR himself, the one about having his blood replaced. Never happened. He just likes to toy with the press. And rightly so.

There are some great quotes in that link though:

Keith Richards wrote:

"Someone put strychnine in my dope....."
"I was number one on the Who's 'Likely To Die' list for 10 years. I mean, I was really disappointed when I fell off the list."
"She'll live, the boys will die."
"But that's the way it is. I mean, shit, Keith Richards has got to do everything once."

I heard a good story about Keith Richards from a good friend of mine. He said a couple years back, he'd went to a Stones concert, and they'd be playing, and all of a sudden, Keith would start playing another song, right in the middle of the current one, so some roadie would run out there pointing on a sheet of paper, and Keith would get back on the right song. My friend said that Keith did this two or three times during the concert. My friend claimed that Keith was clean at the time, that it was just all the years of drug abuse.

Which reminds me of something my dad said about another musician, Ozzy Osbourne. Dad said that the reason you couldn't understand anything Ozzy said when he was on The Osbournes was because, "He'd done way too much LSD and Satan worshiping back in the 70's"

My Dad's ashes were dumped into the ocean. Years later, I was swimming, and swallowed some saltwater. Does that count? I still can't play guitar though. Me myself, have a reservation with the local landfill.

Nice to see that Keith isn't suffering any ill effects after falling out of the coconut tree.

Falling out of a coconut tree is very much like making love to a beautiful woman... you initially scale the heights in search of your nuts and the end product is a milky substance and a headache.

When he nearly killed himself on a quad bike, Alice Cooper made the comment 'Who in their right minds would let Ozzy on a quad?' His last edition of greatest hits nearly included his wife.

Which is a damn good thing. I believe it was a bit touch and go there for a while, but fortunately the medical experts had everything under control:

I don't understand why everyone is so up in arms over this thing. I think it's the coolest thing in the world. Next time I talk to my (80 year old) Dad, I'll ask him if I can snort some of his ashes. It will be like getting a recharge.

This is by definition the problem with being Keith Richards. No matter what he says, everyone regards him as so crazy/messed up from drugs that they think he's just nutty enough to actually snort his dad's ashes! I feel sorry for the guy, he can't win just for being himself.

M-m-max
