Memorial Tips from Keith Richards

April 15, 2008 urngarden.com

In this month’s Blender magazine Keith Richards answers a fan’s email:

Can you clear up once and for all the thing about snorting your dad’s ashes- I’ve seen you quoted as saying that you did, then that you didn’t and then recently that you did. Which is it?

Richards’ Reply: It’s about halfway in between. You want the latest story? All right, all right. I opened my dad’s ashes, and some of them blew out over the table, just because of the suction of the lid- you know what I mean? And I no longer do cocaine- I’m not allowed to since I broke my head open, otherwise I’d be right in, baby! Nothing stops the old snorter! But I can’t do it; I don’t do it. I looked at my dad’s ashes down there and- what am I gonna do? Do I desecrate them with a dustbin and broom? So I wet me finger, and I shoved a little bit of Dad up me hooter. The rest of them I put round an oak tree, which is coming up a treat. And I’m sure he’s still blessin’ me.

    Photog to the Rock Stars, Russ Halfin said it best about Richards: “The worse he looks, the better he photographs!”

    […] When we were younger, rain or shine, Memorial Day was always a big party, and we worked in the tradition of honoring the dead. Since the death of his mother, my husband has never wanted to go back. Since we’re not Keith Richards and we don’t party like we used to, Memorial Day is kind of quiet around here. It’s been stormy which has put a damper on some of the bar-b-cues. At least we missed the killer tornadoes. This morning’s trivia question on the local news was, “What was the original name of Memorial Day?” The anchors were stumped. They “knew it but couldn’t remember.” […]
