Keith Richards

[funwithcats]

I didn't really have a problem with it. I mean, it's Keith Richards, so what's the surprise there? If his dad wouldn't have minded. . . .

Yeah, I couldn't do it at all. But would anyone here really put it past Keith Richards? Most of us probably thought, "Gross! Oh, Keith Richards, that explains it!"

Don't people pay huge sums to have their ashes shot into space, dumped at sea, or scattered in the Rockies? Wonder how much it'd be worth to be snorted by Keith? Hell, just imagine the brochure!

Wasn't there a biography written on him a while back? Was it ever explained why he got all into the drugs in the first place?

I think it was the whole Swingin' London thing. It was easy to for anyone to score drugs, let alone if you were a rock star. The Stones had their own personal dealer who'd get them whatever they wanted at any time. Mick Jagger got nervous and backed off when his girlfriend, Richards and his girlfriend started getting into the really heavy stuff (heroin) but Richards couldn't get enough. They basically were hedonists who no one said "no" to.

I'm guessing because he was in the Rolling Stones.

ETA: It's a cartoon of Mick and Keith. I thought I should point this out as the link is time sensitive and it may very well show a different cartoon tomorrow.

(Oops. I tried to "modify" my previous post but for some reason couldn't. Sorry.)

It's morbidly funny, especially in light of Guin's information about bone fragments.

He might have some more ashes to snort soon. His mother just died, poor guy.
