Yes, I was also familiar with the Dutch influence on "Big Brother". I believe the Dutch create these shows as a way to distract people from the dullness of their ordinary lives. In America, most people are fat, lazy, beer drinking slobs, who love to watch sensational like reality TV shows(see Idol, Big Brother). We eat up these shows because most of us here in America lack the brains to ever come up with an original idea, compared to say, the dutch. |

Don't you HATE how MTV have come to deny the story without ever going to Keith Richards to ask themselves if it is true or not? Kurt Loder is SO pathetic. I HATE that channel. They were not even the first music television station but I will save that one for another day. The guy who did the interview from NME apparently says that it was NOT a joke... |

You know what's really ironic, Keith is probably the only person who can talk about snorting coke, and no one thinks of it as a scandal or bad behaviour... Mixing his coke with ash is the shocking part...
Think about it.... anyone else, and they'd be checking into rehab just over the coke....
We live in great times...
Eddie Van Halen is punching pillows, while Keith is drinking vodka, smoking a cigarette and laughing his ass of about this.... |

No. However, Hugh Laurie is a British actor, perhaps best known for playing the posh idiot snot on the briliant British series "Black Adder"...

An unprecedented bit of damage limitation by the Stones management. Especially when you consider how long it took for updates on Keith's health and the status of cancelled shows a year ago. |

Not bitter at all. The whole thing is more absurd than anything else.
The Stones' management's haste at issuing press statements make it quite obvious that theyre somewhat alarmed at what the press and public reaction to this story may be. |

Keith Richards tells cancer-hit mum ashes claim was 'a joke'
By Richard Simpson
Last updated at 00:02am on 6th April 2007
When Keith Richards gave an interview this week in which he spoke of snorting his father's ashes in a line of cocaine, his fans were aghast and entertained in equal measure.
Keith Richards now says he was only joking when he told the NME that he had snorted his father's (right) ashes in a drugs binge
Yet it has emerged that not everyone was so amused by the grizzled Rolling Stones guitarist's claim.
Keith's family, who are currently fighting their own very personal battle, are understood to have been so taken aback by the claim, which attracted worldwide attention, that they pushed him to make a retraction.
Keith has now put out a statement claiming that his words had simply been a joke, the meaning of which was "lost in translation".
The reason for such sensitivity within the Richards fold is that Keith's mother has recently been diagnosed as suffering from cancer.
Five weeks ago she was moved from the small terraced house she shared with Keith's stepfather William in Dartford, Kent, to a private hospital near Chichester where Keith has a home.
Since returning from the Stones's most recent world tour, Keith has kept a bedside vigil. Doris's husband William revealed she first become sick 10 months ago.
Speaking to the Mail last May, at around the same time Keith was undergoing brain surgery after falling out of a coconut tree in Fiji, William spoke of his hope that his beloved Doris would recover.
He said: "This all seems to have happened at the same time.
"When Keith became ill we already had a lot on our plates. But just as Keith is as strong as an ox, so is my Doris and I'm really hoping she'll pull through."
Sadly, Doris's condition is not understood to have improved.
Family sensitivities are understandably running high - and it was against that background that Keith's comments about his father emerged this week.
Richards made headlines around the world with his extraordinary comments in an interview with NME magazine.
He described mixing the cremated remains of his dad, Bert, who died in 2002 aged 84, with cocaine and snorting them during a drugs bender.
Realising the furore his comments had caused, and the resulting upset among his family, Richards backtracked on the claim the very next day.
"The complete story is lost in translation,' Richards said in a new statement.
"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."
He added: "I wouldn't take cocaine at this point in my life unless I wished to commit suicide."
NME magazine is standing by its story. Mark Beaumont, the journalist who conducted the interview, insisted it had been no throwaway joke.
"He didn't offer the information, I had to ask him a couple of questions to get the information out of him.
"He didn't come straight out with that," Beaumont said.
A source close to Richards said: "In retrospect it was an unfortunate comment.
"And it was not met with too much enthusiasm in the Richards fold, who have their own worries at the moment."

I felt awful when I saw that yesterday.
I was hoping since it was the Daily Mail it might be bullshit, but I guess not.
