Keith's on guitar, Charlie's on drums, and Ronnie's on rhythm. But who's on drugs?
Everybody.
Welcome to the red-eyed world of rock and roll, where every riff comes with a spliff--a coked-up compendium of your favorite musicians and their favorite drugs. Loaded with sordid tales of debauchery, lists, and bleary-eyed photos, there's more stuff in here than in one of Snoop Dogg's favorite brownies, including:
• The Top Ten Albums to Tweak to
• The Top Ten Rock Star Drug Quotes
• The Top Ten Drug Busts in Rock
• Extreme acid casualties
• Outrageous drug stories of rock legends
• The secret history of Dylan and drugs
• Henry Rollins and Frank Zappa: How to act like you're on drugs without actually doing any
• And the answer to the ever popular rock and roll drug question, "Who gave the Beatles their first hits of acid?" (Their dentist!)
So put on your favorite CD, don't try the green acid, and enjoy!
