Keith Richards and Dad

“I've never had a problem with drugs. I've had problems with the police.”
Keith Richards, Rolling Stones’ guitarist, singer, song writer

It’s so outrageous that it is not beyond the pale that Keith Richards would do such a weird, sick thing as snort some of his father’s ashes mixed with cocaine. The story spread faster than Anna Nicole Smith in a room full of millionaires.

Now Richards’ manager is claiming it’s not true and said it was mentioned in jest. Yeah right. I suspect that Mick Jagger called Keith screaming, “who do you think you are Ozzy Osborne? We have to kill this story.”

I miss the days of simple name calling:

Richards said Elton John's Vegas-style stage antics and "songs for dead blondes" were irritating him.

Elton responded with, I'm glad I've given up drugs and alcohol. It would be awful to be like Keith Richards. He's pathetic. It's like a monkey with arthritis, trying to go on stage and look young. I have great respect for the Stones but they would have been better if they had thrown Keith out 15 years ago.

You know, I never thought about it, but Elton John is right. The Rolling Stones DO look like monkeys with arthritis on stage.

And did I just see an ad for a t-shirt on your sidebar that says Nice Jewish girls know how to blow? You shouldn't post lies like that, LOL. Or at least add . . . WITH A REWARD OF JEWELRY.

Trish,
when the Stones were young the saying was would you let your daughter date a Rolling Stone. Now, it's would you let your grandmother date them. They were never known for being a good looking group, but it hasn't stopped the groupies.

Jack,
You may be right.
