Maybe you saw that Keith Richards item that started popping up all over the place on Tuesday (April 3) — the one about how he'd admitted to snorting the ashes of his late father after his body had been cremated? Great story, right? And yet,
like so much in the world of celebrity journalism, totally untrue.
In case you missed it, this little yarn first appeared in the pages of London's notoriously unreliable New Musical Express. The magazine quoted the Rolling Stones guitarist as saying, "The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father. He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn't have cared. ... It went down pretty well, and I'm still alive."
This wildly dubious quote proved irresistible to newspapers, wire services and TV and online outlets on both sides of the Atlantic, from The Associated Press to Forbes, The Drudge Report, Breitbart and E! Online. In fact, it was such a great story that nobody bothered trying to confirm it with a Richards representative — why spoil the fun with facts?
In a buzz-killing mood, though, we decided to check with Richards' longtime manager, Jane Rose. We asked her about the dad-snorting quotes in the NME interview. She responded with an e-mail:
"Said in jest," she explained. "Can't believe anyone took [it] seriously."

I bet he did do it. Of course Mick probably shit himself when this hit the presses and the spokespeople would obviously deny it. I don't see what all the fuss is about really. |

Really. Some people need to lighten up. |

I knew a guy who did it ON PURPOSE. Said it was a rush. Yeech. All depends on your point of view. |

bet this denial story doesnt get 1% of the coverage the original story will - so the myth will perpetuate
As soon as I arrived in work this morning, its the first thing I heard being discussed on the radio. You can bet they wont even mention the disclaimer. |

04.04.07 From Keith Richards
The story currently circulating around the net that Keith snorted his Dad's ashes with some cocaine is totally untrue. To set the record straight, Keith has sent us the following statement:
"The complete story is lost in the usual slanting! The truth of the matter is that I planted a sturdy English Oak . I took the lid off the box of ashes and he is now growing oak trees and would love me for it!!! I was trying to say how tight Bert and I were. That tight!!! I wouldn't take cocaine at this point in my life unless I wished to commit suicide."

That does no sound at all like Keith...nor would he, imo, back off a statement he made...he is too caught up in "being keith".

************* Breaking News *******************
OMAHA (AP) - Joey has acknowledged posting a raft of illegal threads in his time, but this may top them all.
In comments published Tuesday, the 21-year-old Resident Cretin said he had smelled his ass mixed with sweat.
"The strangest thing I've tried to sniff? My butt. I smelled my crack," Joey was quoted as saying by The Associated Simpleton Sounds (The ASS, for short).
"It was caked and I couldn't resist bending over and giving it a little bit of a blow. My ass wouldn't have cared," he said. "... It smelled pretty well, and I'm still alive."
Joey's posting gene died in 2002, at 84.
Joey, one of Rocks Off legendary wild men, told the magazine that his survival was the result of Decaking, and advised young posters against trying to emulate him.
"I did it because that was the way I did it. Now Steelie thinks it's a way of life," he was quoted as saying.
"I've no pretensions about ass-sniffing," he added. "I'm the same as everyone ... just kind of peculiar.
"I was No. 1 on the `who's likely to have no life' list for 10 years. I mean, I was really disappointed when I fell just behind Raging Goat on the list," Joey said.
