RICHARDS: ‘HEAD INJURY DRUG FORCED ME TO QUIT COCAINE’ http://www.pr-inside.com/entertainment-

Veteran hellraiser KEITH RICHARDS has been forced to quit cocaine, because he can’t mix it with the drug doctors have prescribed him after he fell out of a tree last year (06).
The 63-year-old Rolling Stone, a former heroin addict and longtime party animal, suffered a head injury when he slipped out of a palm tree in April 2006.
And he now has to take a drug which cannot be taken with cocaine.
Richards says, "Drugs I’m on now - the [crap] I’ve gotta take because of the brain job, Dilantin. Means you can’t take cocaine anymore. Which is fine with me. "I mean, I haven’t seen coke for, like, a year and a half. Big deal. Y’know I used to like my little bump here and there after meals. But now I can’t do that anymore, so I don’t do it no more.
"I still smoke like a *** chimney. Get me some good weed."
Story Two
RICHARDS IGNORES DOCTORS BOOZE WARNINGS
Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 6:38 pm
ROLLING STONE KEITH RICHARDS insists he’ll never stop drinking - because he has outlived a number of doctors who warned him about his constant partying.
The Brown Sugar guitarist, who was once addicted to heroin for 10 years, claims decades of hard-partying have taught him to know his limits.
He says, "They keep telling me to stop drinking, but I can’t be bothered.
"It’s like, ‘You don’t know me, I know me.’ The people who’ve told me to stop doing this and that and they’ve croaked.
"Not that I want to brag about it, but I mean, I’ve had about three doctors who told me, ‘If you carry on like this, you will be dead in six months.’ I went to their funerals."
Wow... he’s aged well...
Eight years later ... Keith still ticking. Going to see them at Indy.
