In comments published Tuesday, the 63-year-old Rolling Stones guitarist said he had snorted his father's ashes mixed with cocaine. 'My Dad Wouldn't Have Cared' "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.

(0% RH) Hello Fegs! I was hoping for some wise advice from our Baltimore, Maryland fegs (or fegs knowledgable of that area). Would any of you know the name of any bars or clubs where bands play? Smaller places, not stadiums! Bonus if you have any phone #'s or contact information. Some friends of mine are in a band called Fast Piece of Furniture. I just helped them record their debut album which will be out on Dischord Records in a couple months. Jeff Nelson, of Minor Threat fame is the drummer for the band, but they sound more like a cross between The Talking Heads and Neil Young than anything close to Minor Threat. They are doing a tour at the end of May and have an open day right when they are passing through Maryland. Any suggestions would be of great help!

I was about to say he sang something at the reunion show at the Fillmore in 2001, but that was with YFF. I couldn't reallly hear him though and he didn't seem terribly comfortable singing, so it could just be that Kim doesn't really want to. Has he ever toured as a solo artist?

Weird, sad story all around. This brings up another point: why are human ashes always depicted on-screen as looking like fireplace ashes, blowin' in the wind? At least Keith admitted he had to grind 'em up. I just saw "The Namesake" and they did it there, too.

And on occasion will play one of Kim's songs in a solo show - he did a version of "Going Down to Liverpool" at Schuba's not too long ago. Tom: > I was also reminded of something Peter Buck said in the Sundance Channel program. He said he was striving to be Robyn's extra set of hands - I like that. In the autograph line after the Chicago show I made note of that to Peter: I think I expressed it as he played very complementary parts. He seemed pleased but just said he and Robyn "were very similar players." I thought that was overly modest; from what I could tell Peter was really filling up the space nicely without getting in Robyn's way. That's an awfully underappreciated skill. Re: Scott, I think the bass playing is kind of a moot point because he was going to be in the band no matter what. As MRG noted, boundless optimism and good backing vocals were probably enough as it was; the fact that he's awfully laid back, funny, can repair stuff on the fly, drive if needed, etc was all just gravy. They didn't already have a bass player so he ended up doing it, and if it's just straight eights most of the time then that's fine. At least that's my read.
