Musicians Do Drugs # 1 The Ramones


This column in no way endorses the taking of illegal substances. But aspiring pop stars are particularly good on this subject. This comes from the best Rock and Roll book ever written.
 
 
 
Dee Dee Ramone: 'Besides smoking good pot, I started doing a lot of glue. I'd do glue and Tuinals and Seconals. What a party, you couldn't get your head outta that bag. I used to do it with my friend Egg, because Egg was real sleazy. He didn't go for dope or pot or acid, what he liked was sniffing Carbona, the cleaning fluid, and glue. After we'd sniff glue we used to call up numbers on the phone.
 
We knew the numbers to call where you could get these weird sounds. We'd call the numbers and it would go "Beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep." We'd listen to that for hours. Then sniff some more glue. Or if we couldn't get any glue, Egg would go to the supermarket, get some cans of whipped cream, and we'd do the gas in it. Anything to get high - cough medicine, glue, Tuinals and Seconals.'
