Keith Richards: Daddy’s Little Snorter

4/3/07, 6:18 pm EST

Yesterday, we posted our list of the 25 Best Rock Rumors ever. Keith Richards came in at a paltry #17 with that whole “blood transfusions” thing. Well, today, Keith is #1 in our book, thanks to his most recent revelation. Apparently in the new issue of the NME, Richards — who probably smoked, sniffed, and shot up every possible drug in his prime — admits that he “snorted his dad” after his father was cremated in 2002. That’s right: He took his father’s fresh ashes, mixed them with cocaine, and snorted them. And they “went down pretty well.” Huh. If the image of a then-58-year-old Richards blowing lines made of his dear ol’ dad doesn’t frighten you enough, consider that this adds even more veracity to the hypothesis that Richards might actually be a zombie . . . and this cocaine/ash combo is his awesome equivalent of eating humans . . . and, according to zombie lore, only severing the head from the rest of the body will kill Keith Richards. It would explain how he’s survived all these years.

Nobody personafies Rock&Roll more than Keith Richards. And nobody ever will. He is the real McCoy.

keith’s 63, not 58. he was born a week before christmas in 1943.

allegedly, of course. keith may not have been so much born as simply appeared from a parallel dimension.

either that, or every drug and alcohol known to man kind of congealed together behind an electric guitar…

keith was 58 when he snorted his pops in 2002. don’t be so critical.
