Rolling Richards Stoned on Dad's Remains

As a son, Keith Richards blows.

Though suddenly, a couple of nights at Hyde and an impromptu meeting with a pair of shaving shears doesn't seem like such a low point, addiction-wise.

The coconut-wrangler extraordinaire has unleashed the granddaddy of all rock-bottom tales, telling Britain's NME magazine that, in the wake of his old man's death in 2002, he actually snorted his father's cremated remains.

Probably not the way Papa Richards planned on going out.The 63-year-old rocker made the NA-ready confession to the British music mag after being asked about some of the odder concoctions that have made their way up the legend's nose over the years.

"The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father," he said. "He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow."
