LONDON - 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. "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."

Either he's pulling their leg, which is entirely possible, or he hasn't remained the Richards version of relatively clean, also entirely possible.
Originally Posted By sherrytodd OK, how can you resist a topic with a title like that. Then the first words I saw were Keith Richards and it was pretty much a no shocker here. I had an uncle that was a junky and pretty much in and out of jail most of his life. When he died he was cremated and really nobody wanted to claim him, so my mom and aunt decided to have my dad who's a pilot fly them over the ocean where they decided to dump my uncle's ashes. So they got out over the ocean, opened the window and dumped the ashes and they blew right back in on them. They actually had a pretty good laugh about it. Figured that he'd been pretty much a pain his entire life, that this was just one last jab. The plane was a rental too. Guess anyone who goes flying now gets to take my uncle along for the ride.
