Keith Richards: 'I Snorted My Father'
LONDON (AP) -- Keith Richards has acknowledged consuming a raft of illegal substances in his time, but this may top them all. In comments published Tuesday, the 63-year-old Rolling Stones guitarist said he had snorted his father's ashes mixed with cocaine.
"The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father," Richards was quoted as saying by British music magazine NME.
"He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn't have cared," he said. "... It went down pretty well, and I'm still alive."
Richards' father, Bert, died in 2002, at 84.
Richards, one of rock's legendary wild men, told the magazine that his survival was the result of luck, and advised young musicians against trying to emulate him.
"I did it because that was the way I did it. Now people think it's a way of life," he was quoted as saying.
"I've no pretensions about immortality," he added. "I'm the same as everyone ... just kind of lucky.
"I was No. 1 on the `who's likely to die' list for 10 years. I mean, I was really disappointed when I fell off the list," Richards said.

If his father didn't mind, then who are we to judge?

2006 - Fun Times With The HOchies List
The trickery I do so love to lay down on you guys! This isn't exactly the Fun Times with the HOchies 2006 list. I already did a photo post of that to you guys. No, this is really the Or 2's Best of 2006 Music, Concert and Broadway List.
Joke's on me because some of you are going to skip over this, yeah? Asshats. That's right, HOchie 1! I called you an asshat!
Anyway, of the albums I got this year and mind you, some of them weren't released this year but they were new to me, here they are and the songs that were best from them:
Death Cab for Cutie
We Got the facts and We're Voting Yes - so far disappointing and I can't even pick a song from here yet but I will listen again in the near future
Something About Airplanes - "Bend to Squares" is a fantastic song. Other than that, this album is another I'll need to listen to because so far it's boring as heck. Sorry TD5.
Transatlanticism - "Tiny Vessels", "Title and Registration"
Audioslave
Revelations - "Shape of Things To Come", "Moth", Wide Awake
With no tour planned for the year after the album came out, I don't know what's going with Audioslave. They had one of the worst songs this year, "Original Fire". I cringe everytime I hear it. This album, other than those three songs, is mostly forgettable and that is painful for me to say. Sweet D., you can keep him even though I still love you, T.M.
The Streets
The Hardest Way to Make An Easy Living - "Can't Con an Honest John", "The Hardest Way To Make an Easy Living", "When You Wasn't Famous". This is another not-so-great album after the golden greatness of Mike Skinner's first two.
Tool
10,000 Days - "The Pot", "Vicarious". "The Pot" is one of the greatest songs this year but Tool, why are you making me add you to the list of not-so-great overall?! Maybe if you stopped your bullshit pretentiousness, then you'd make an album that wasn't one long boring song and an extension from your last! Geez.
OK Go
OK Go - "Get Over It" (Hilarious video and amazing song), "Hello My Treacherous Friends" (I like the bit about the spider children. I don't understand it but I like it as long as they're not Hobo Spiders, that is. Right X?), "1000 Miles Per Hour"
Oh No - "Oh Lately It's So Quiet", "It's a Disaster", "Maybe This Time". I took a chance on this band this year starting with this album and loved it so much that I forced them upon SF (but you know you should be thanking me, right, SF?), made enemies with Hinder and went out and bought OK Go's first. This is a really fun album and they seem to be a fun bunch of guys who are really about their fans and that's always a plus.
Thom Yorke
The Eraser - "Analyse" (One of the best songs this year!), "The Clock", "Harrowdown Hill". Thom Yorke, that loveable freak. I liked this album well enough. Oh and "The Drunk Machine" from the Harrowdown Hill EP is pretty good too.
Arctic Monkeys
Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not - "Dancing Shoes", "Perhaps Vampires is a Bit Strong But...", "Mardy Bum", "You Probably Couldn't See For The Lights But You Were Staring Straight At Me".
Okay, so I stayed away from this band realizing how hyped up they were as soon as they came out until of course, a 7 hour flight to London and a broken pair of Ipod headphones forced me to make use of Virgin Atlantic's In-Flight Entertainment Service. So, I listened and actually liked it. It's not to be taken seriously, the whole thing's about how to hook up on the dancefloor (yeah, let's say the Arctic Monkeys can write only as well as, well, Arctic Monkeys. But ah, the lyrics and music are fun so whatever) and wow, do they like long titles.
Mindless Self Indulgence
Another Mindless Rip Off - (it truly is but at $8.99 and my undying love for this band, I had to get it. They know we're idiot fans who will buy anything but we know it too so it doesn't make it better but it makes it something) "Born to be Beheaded", "Frying Pan", "What Do They Know?" remix by MSI VS. Julien-K. & Chester Bennington
Shut Me Up: The Remixes + 3
This was truly disappointing! I mean, I rushed out to buy it for MSI's cover of "Big Poppa" because if you've heard their covers of "Tom Sawyer" and "Bring The Pain", you'll agree with me that MSI can cover a song like nobody's business but ugh, I was so sad and unimpressed by "Big Poppa". It wasn't horrible but it wasn't A+ material either. It was rather boring.
Despierto Los Ninos - "Alienating my Audience", "Joke", "Wack". And these songs are examples of why I love them because they're self-loathing, fan-hating, fun time bitches.
The Legend of Zelda
From The Oracle of Ages Sdtk - "Tower of Black", "Ralph's Theme" and no, Ralph is NOT my BFF!!!!!!!
From "The Oracle of Seasons" Sdtk - "Castle of Despair"
Final Fantasy VII Advent Children
"Battle in the Forgotten City", "Beyond the Wasteland", "Sairin: Kata Tsubata No Tenshi". Yes, "One-Winged Angel" remains bad-assed even after given a rock on opera makeover.
And now for the two greatest albums all year...
Keane
Under the Iron Sea - "Nothing in My Way", "Leaving So Soon?", "A Bad Dream". Thanks to some drugs, Keane released a stellar album this year. The entire thing is amazing save maybe one song I refuse to listen to. They would have made number one on my list and heck knows they're really close to being at that spot but of course...
MUSE
Black Holes & Revelations - "Map of the Problematique", "Hoodoo", "Take A Bow". I'd be a traitor if I didn't have them as the most revered. But in all honesty, had they not made an incredible album, Keane would have taken this one. Every track is great except for that damned "Knights of Cydonia" that I hate but absolutely love in concert. And "Invincible" which grew on me because it's also great in concert.
[Personal Message: Matt, I love you. Please send me tickets and VIP passes to your show at Wembley Stadium on June 16th of next year. No one got tickets for me even though I pleaded that that was the only present I wanted for Christmas. Bitches.]
But talk about another hideous album cover...
For those of you who missed receiving a copy of this c.d. from me or TD5 this year, no worries...as soon as their concert dvd comes out, you're all getting one.
Now for my list of the shows (concerts & broadway) I saw this year starting with the best and ending with the worst:
1. MUSE at Wembley Arena. "Assassin (Grand Omega Bosses Mix)" is the most bad-assed performance in concert I've ever seen and/or heard.
2. Mindless Self Indulgence (tied with below) - oh how I love Jimmy. Within two years, baby, I'll have Urine tattoed to my foot. This was my first real pit. I'm alive. Barely. If not for Beetchie and Jess, I wouldn't be posting right now.
2. Evil Dead The Musical (tied with above) - great because X got roughed up.
4. Spamalot - I like Lancelot; he likes to dancealot. And he was pretty hot.
5. MUSE @ The Hammerstein Ballroom - small venue greatness because I was close to my man and fun because now SF is hooked.
6. Franz Ferdinand @ The Hammerstein Ballroom - as my Budgie would say, "if it's free, it's for me" and then there was the Alex moment.
7. Wicked - There's nothing like a gOOd-lOOkin' flying monkey. Yes, it is possible.
8. Les Miserables - the slo'mo' death scene was hilarious even though I don't think they meant it to be. The flush was just damned lame.
9. (and now for the worst show, please view two blogs before this one) Matisyahu. That's right, MC. Matisdamnedyahu.
And this next bit is for my own purposes -

Season 3 (The Ugly Season & The How Many Times Is Sherry's Name Mentioned Season) of the 24 Head Count: 1 PM to 4 PM
1 PM to 2 PM:
"Ok, that Chase can't be with Kim because he looks like her." - HOchie 1.
Exactly what is Kim doing working at CTU? What skills does Kim have?
And who is this asshole Adam? You know you probably shouldn't mess with Kim though because Jack did turn her into a murderer.
Why aren't things working out with Kate?! She survives Season 2 only to be assed out by Jack and his love of the drugs? For shame. That is the worst way to go.
I love how they set up the hours in the day. The virus is programmed much like the show, it'll take 24 hours to do it's buisness. Funny guys. Funny.
This Wayne character may be the male version of SGDP.
What's up with people's noses this season?
For something new, here's the 24 'analyst' line:
Jamie (dead) -> Milo (whereabouts unknown but possibly in some hot milk) -> Paula (dead) -> Carrie (whereabouts unknown but hopefully bitch slapped by Tony A. and Michelle before being tossed to the ugly Su Lin panda in the zoo for a 5 PM feeding) -> Adam (already on the 'who everyone would like to see dead in the near future' list) -> Chloe (already had her ass handed to her by Jack).
President Palmer's new girlfriend ain't got no flava'.
"This show acts under the guise of advancing minorities but it deals in stereotypes and crap!" - HOchie 1.
"It's taking us back centuries!" - Mitch *Connors*.
"Just like Survivor!!!!" - Me.
"For someone who's addicted to drugs, he could be a lot thinner." - HOchie 1.
We don't like this heroin Jack.
Head Count: 2 + 1 truckload full of people.
The Sherry Name Drop Count: 0.
2 PM to 3 PM:
OMG! There's an Anise working at CTU!!!!!
Good going, Kim. Go ahead and tell Jack that you're dating Chase so when Chase gets killed, you'll have only yourself to blame. You know that anyone who gets close to Jack gets offed!
The new fantastic line that will be used by all when they do not want to be accused of getting their way via shady dealings - "I'm not talking about pulling a Sherry and stealing it."
"Shut up, stupid!" - Jack. Ahahahahahaha. That's the kind of thing I say to people all the time.
I like how Jack has other people extracting information for him. That's power.
What's up with Ann? Is she BFF's with SGDP?!
Head Count: 1.
The Sherry Name Drop Count: 1
3 PM to 4 PM:
I'm loving how instead of giving Tony A. his name in the 'previously on 24' they give him the title of "Counter Terrorist Unit".
Can't a man shoot up some heroin in the privacy of his van before he goes out in the field on his federal agent type buisness?
Who the hell leaves a fan on the floor? That fan is in on the plan to release and spread the virus through Kyle's door! Stupid fan.
Head Count: 1.
The Sherry Name Drop Count: 2
4 PM to 5 PM:
Watching 24 on the laptop and trying to blog doesn't work out.

Keane...
Keane Singer Tom Chaplin Goes Into Rehab
Keane Postpones U.S. Tour While Tom Chaplin Goes Into Rehab for Drug and Alcohol Addiction
LONDON Aug 22, 2006 (AP)— A planned U.S. tour by Keane has been postponed while singer Tom Chaplin is being treated for drug and alcohol addiction, the British band said Tuesday.
In a statement posted on the band's Web site, Chaplin, 27, said he was "having to deal with an increasing problem with drink and drugs, and the time has come to get the professional help I need to sort myself out."
The tour had been due to start in Chicago on Sept. 7.
"I feel desperately disappointed to be letting down our fans, but I want to get myself right now so that I can be back on the road for the rest of the year," Chaplin said.
Keane had already canceled several appearances, citing Chaplin's "exhaustion."
Two things -
1. I guess it's a good thing I didn't get tickets to see this show because my ass would be pIssed.
2. I knew that album was exceptionally fantastic for a reason! As we all know, and as sad as it is to say, singers/bands write much better music when on drugs. It was true of Stone Temple Pilots! It's cool when they get help on a personal level but man do my ears suffer. And it's always about my ears.
