Pshhhhhh, I think he is more believable saying he did it than saying he didn't do it.
no true. he said it in an interview with a magazine. most likely as a sarcastic remark to a stupid question.
So maybe Keith Richards isn't as hardcore as we thought he was.
Just hours after the Internet lit up with his claim that he'd snorted the ashes of his own father mixed with cocaine, his manager told MTV News that, sadly, it wasn't true. According to Jane Rose in an e-mail message, Richard's dad-ingesting comment was, "Said in jest ... Can't believe anyone took [it] seriously."
Yesterday, Richards added to his own self-medicating legend by telling NME, "The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father. He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn't have cared ... It went down pretty well, and I'm still alive."
I knew a housekeeping manager at the Omni Hotel in Chicago who freaked out when he saw Keith Richards having a seizure and vomitting in the hallway of his hotel one night. He hollered at an employee to call an ambulance and someone from the band told him not to, that "he does this every night".

There's probably a story like that from every hotel they stayed at on their multitude of tours, and you have to wonder - how in the world is this guy still alive? After all those drugs and all those seizures and everything, how is he still functioning? That just amazes me.
