RonJonSurfer Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Disney Worries About Keith Richards' Dad's Ashes Comment Richards is appearing in the upcoming Disney sequel 'Pirates of The Caribbean: At World's End.' Keith Richards now says the story about snorting dad's ashes isn't true and more stories! Rolling Stone Keith Richards' recent comment he snorted his father's ashes mixed with cocaine has left bosses at family movie studio Disney squirming. Richards, who has since insisted he was joking, is appearing in the upcoming Disney sequel 'Pirates of The Caribbean: At World's End' and the company's marketing department is worried. Disney senior vice president Dennis Rice tells British music magazine NME, who broke the original story, "When (a senior Disney publicist) forwarded the (Richards) story to me, I thought 'How are we going to spin this?'" He adds, "Keith won't be doing a lot of publicity for this movie."

Lucky Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Aww, why not? What did they THINK they were getting, hiring Keith Richards to begin with? Family friendly, G-rated sort of guy that he is.... Hey, hasn't there always been a story that Walt was quick frozen, for possible future thaw (what do they call that again?) ? Now THAT isn't odd at all.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted April 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Disney re-released Fantasia for the fourth time in the USA on December 17th. 1969, why? To Capitalize on the drug induced generation, this was the most successful run of the film, in fact, it did not show a profit until the 1969 release. It was largely known as a "trip-film" then, and teens and young-adults were known to flock to the theatre under the influence of Marajuana and LSD to watch it. I think Keith would have been better suited for the film "The Mummy" than "Pirates of the Caribbean", but then Pirates are known as the walking dead too.

Henry David Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 This may be a jaded view, but I would not doubt if this story was a plant to drum up publicity. God knows it does not matter if it is good or bad press, it all sells. Ever notice how some story starts circulating before someone's new album or movie? I mean, really, Disney knew all about Keith. Who doesn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 That's exactly what I thought Amy. As much as I love Keith, I understand the business side of it all, and obviously, so does Disney. We're all talking about it, right? I heard so many people at work the other day discussing Keith Richards. Little old ladies, 18 year old rap fans, etc. I could go another year without ever hearing his name at work again, or at least until another stunt (coconuts? ) puts his name back out there. I'd say that's a pretty effectual PR person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamisammy29 Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Yeah, like Disney and drugs have never mixed. Alice in Wonderland, anybody? And Disney also has a history of making fun of the mentally disabled. Remember "Dumbo"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who doesn't? Pirates of the Caribbean need *additional* publicity? I figure it one of two ways: A)Keith's brain farts more than your average burned-out rock legend. or B)Keith wants to continue the long standing tradition of "interview me, get a bizarre story" that many a entertainer has coveted over the decades. You choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You choose. I look at it this way , Pf : if the press can get a coherant quote from Keith that doesn't sound like an inside joke or utter ramblings - they quote it - as though the Lord himself spoke .... intended or not ! Be kind : afterall , for the last 30 years the only truly sensible thing the man has HAD to say was ' Thank you , { insert city } ; love ya ! The next one is ' Happy ' ... ( enter guitars ) !

MuzikTyme Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 The Richards Family (Dad some 20 years before being sniffed by his son Keith) Hmmm. Maybe he should've put Dad in the pipe and smoke him, for nostalgia's sake. Getting the sniffles over the loss of loved ones takes on a whole new meaning now.

Blue Fish Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 who ever it is, He's sick. He should have more respect for the dead. Just thank goodness he cremated him BEFORE he sniffed him. But in all seriousness, it's sick. Its not cool, funny or Hip'n'happening whatever to sniff your own fathers ashes. Not cool Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
