Keith Richards: Not a fan of modern drugs

Keith Richards says he's not a fan of modern drugs. Richards, who is currently on tour with the Rolling Stones, told Britain's Q magazine that, "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." Richards, who was a heavy heroin user for a decade, has now been known to stick to more legal substances such as Stolichnaya vodka mixed with Sunkist soda.

The guitarist went on to joke that, while hospitalized last spring after his head injury in Fiji, he did enjoy the morphine drip the hospital provided for him: "I did try to squeeze a little bit more out of the night nurse. She was very accommodating."

The Rolling Stones will next perform on Saturday (September 23rd) in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Their next US gig will be on September 27th in East Rutherford, New Jersey at Giants Stadium.
