Obediant Pirate

The most pitiful aspect of the Keith Richards story is not that he has the poor judgment to think his claim to have snorted his father's ashes makes a good joke. No, his eager repudiation is the most pathetic part. Here is a bona fide “bad boy” who could've just told Disney to keep their promotion money for “Pirates of the Caribbean” if they can't take a joke (or whatever). Instead, his feeble and futile attempt to regain their graces just makes himself look a fool and a sellout. What's next, Mick singing “I can't get no satisfaction... without AARP”?
