Reflections on Addiction and Rock Culture

Cookie: [inhales; flashback: "He has been here, and he has done that."; winks] Have you ever bought a ticket to the junkie's boneyard, Roman? It's an unpleasant place, called curl up and die'. Might sound like a hair salon, but it don't fuckin look like one, I can tell ya. It's a terrible sight...and a horrible sound, listening to a man sucking his soul through the hole in the pipe. Even worse when he tries to tear it back. I've been there, and I've done that. And then I nailed that demon in a smoke-proof coffin, and I did it all with Johnny. I love that man; he's what you call class. And if you had any fucking brains, Roman, you'd love him too. You know his music sales have gone up 1000% in three weeks? You see, Johnny, the crackhead, knows that a rocker is worth more dead than alive...funny world, innit? Mr. Quid does not get his gear from me. He has to travel, far and wide. But do leave me a number, and if the dead feels like calling...you'll be the first to know.
