Description

Some things just go together naturally...
A nice sauterne is a fine companion to foie gras that is served with fruit compote...or, if that’s too rich, strawberry jam works well in a sandwich with peanut butter...
And, as even the most casual observer knows that rock music often comes with side order of drugs...
In case you haven’t noticed, rock and drugs often have some kind of symbiotic relationship...
I mean, the self-appointed moralists who want to sanitize life for the rest of us kinda have a point...the world of rock’n’roll is filled with stories of druggy excess and the kind of misery only drugs can offer...

I have ten stories where rock and drugs have intersected with very strange results...
It’s part five of “100 weird things about new rock”...
