Honour thy father

Some silly conservatives talk about there once having been a Golden Age of morals. This is nonsense of course, as any Phd in dialectical sociology or contemporary feminist thought knows. Such absolute nonsense in fact that, just to prove what nonsense it is, I’ve decided to look for examples of that ol’ time morality today.

Looking down the Ten Commandments, I discarded the first four as being to do with God, or G-d, or Shiva, or non-culturally specific, non-judgemental deity of your choice. Then we had number five: honour thy father and thy mother. So, I went to google, typed in father and the name of the first pop artist that lept to mind, to discover some modern parable of reverence for the past generations.

Here it is, children:

Keith Richards says he snorted father’s ashes

LONDON - 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.

Now, two thoughts occur. One, did he just have a puff, or did he ‘swallow’? And secondly, how many young people take this travelling circus seriously when they come out with stuff like this.

At the reporting of this, the comment consensus on our local ‘hip’ arts blog was that Richards looks old and the Stones are cool. There was one innocuous mention of the father/ash incident.

Regarding Doherty’s Hate ‘Racism’, any predictions on when Racial Realism will be as popular a term in the MSM?

Great rhythm guitarist and rock-riff composer as he undoubtedly is, Keith Richard’s real talent lies in the fact that, despite his ownership (and employment over the decades) of several hundred guitars, he manages to make them all sound exactly the same.

This ‘ashes snorting’ incident, if true, demonstrates that KR behaves like the boy in the Duchess’s song from Alice in Wonderland :"He only does it to annoy, because he knows it teases”.

Of course, Richards not Richard is the correct form

They must have snorted all their money- and now I see another world tour coming on with this type of publicity; although funny with some sick humor , it is sick that even such a thought had ever been conceived.

Watch the new sick trend now as Idiot worshipers make it trendy to snort their parents ashes.

Almost as bad as some Pomy woman sending her father’s ashes to the U S A and having them compressed, then turning them into a Synthetic Diamond.

What planet do we live on – Fairdinkum.
