Keith Richards quits drugs

Keith Richards has told Q magazine that he has quit drugs because they are no longer strong enough to be worth taking.

Keith Richards has quit drugs, because he says they're just not strong enough anymore. Oh dear. It's not like the old days, is it?

Richards, who, as you all know, had a run in with a coconut tree earlier this year, resulting in brain surgery, told Q: "I think the quality's gone down. All they do is try and take the high out of everything. I don't like the way drugs now are working on your brain area instead of just through the blood stream. That's why I don't take any of them anymore."

He did, however, enjoy the druggy benefits of his recent accident: "I've had a couple of weeks on morphine. I did try to squeeze a little bit more out of the night nurse. She was very accommodating."

And now, possibly, fired.
