Bigmouths Strike Again: Daddy-Flavored Blow Edition

When asked about the craziest inhalant this musician's ever taken, the answer was given with candor. Maybe too much candor.

The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father. He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn't have cared ... It went down pretty well, and I'm still alive.
Your hint (if you really need one) is right there: The person's still alive. Barely. Take your guess, then take the jump.

This was in 2002. Keef was 58. His father's ashes were named Bert.

the frightening part is that he's not wearing a shirt.

In his defense, his dad was very clean and had a really mellow come down.

It'd be good to mention that his dad died in 2002. So it was somewhat recently that he's still using coke.

How does this man still live, let alone have a septum?

i still haven't decided whether this is awesome or not. If i detatch myself and think of Keith as a rock and roll cartoon, like something out of metalocolypse, it is extremely awesome. However, if I think of snorting my own dead father (which thankfully hasn't needed to be pondered yet) I am horrified.

Ah the quandries we face daily.

He looks like a misshapen, unpainted clown.

That don't beat OZZY's snorting of live ants.

Live ants or dead fathers. I think that's the title to my memoirs.

The first few sentences had me picturing someone so strung out they were literally trying to shove their father's entire body up their nostrils.

It made me giggle.

But, that's sentimental?

What the fuck is metalocolypse, and what does it have to do with the living embodiment of the Spirit of Rock'n'Roll? Serriioously...

If you don't know what Metalocalypse is, you don't deserve to live.
