Keith Richards claims he was joking about snorting his dad's ashes

Keith Richards was joking when he claimed to have snorted his father's ashes along with cocaine, a spokesman said Wednesday.

"It was an off-the-cuff remark, a joke, and it is not true. File under April Fool's joke," said Bernard Doherty of LD Communications, which represents the Rolling Stones.

Doherty declined to say any more about why Richards made the statement in an interview with NME, a pop music magazine.

"The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father," the 63-year-old guitarist was quoted as saying.

1. I wonder if Keith is really dead and it just hasn't been made public yet.

He looks like death warmed over.

5. I think so too

He was probably high on his father when he said it, too.

6. I have heard of people who added their relatives ashes to a jug of wine

and went sailing, drank the wine, and peed overboard, as that's what their relative would have wanted.
