If you've always wanted to ask Keith Richards a question and have a taped 15-second response of mumbling and emphysema laughs, this is the page for you. It's a section on Keith's official page where fans can ask him a question, and he replies with a short video.

When first scrolling through the webpage, I questioned if it was rigged, because many questions centered on his new album, Crosseyed Heart, but it seems the site is sincere. Here are a couple examples:

Naturally, I asked my own dorked-out question; we'll see if he responds or I get flagged by the government. Since Keef has written a children's book, Gus and Me, in dedication to his own grandchildren and has often spoken of his own grandfather, I asked, "Which rock star would you feel comfortable with to babysit your grandkids?"

So what would you ask Keef? Tell me in the comments section below. Bonus points if you don't ask about snorting his father's ashes.
