Keith Richards Snorts His Dad

Keith Richards has led a crazy, crazy life.  He's been rocking hard for 45 years with the Rolling Stones.  So, any stories that surface about Keith's wild ways have to be pretty impressive to shock us.

Keith's latest revelation is just nutty enough to get our attention, though.  After all the stuff that the aging rocker has put up his nose over the years, he's really outdone himself this time.  It seems that Keith actually snorted his dead father's ashes.

You read that right.  Keith Richards chopped his cremated dad into lines and snorted him along with his cocaine.  We're not sure whether to be touched or appalled.  We're mainly disgusted, though.

One of the most shocking parts of the story is that it happened only five years ago.  Which means that Keith was 58 when he did something that dumb.  And we thought foolish drug use was reserved for the young.

What do you think of Keith Richards' claim that he snorted his father's ashes?  Was it gross or an oddly fitting tribute to dear old dad?
