From glam_lolz: John Cale's sordid drug past
news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/8101850.stm
I love this...John rambles in his usual incomprehensible manner about the dangers of drugs, when he was the spokesperson for cocaine in the 1970s and early 1980s. This is like when Lou Reed did those "DON'T DO DRUGS, AFTER ALL, I DID THEM" TV ads on MTV back in the day.
As bad as this will sound, I almost prefer the fat, drugged out Cale years, versus the "I'm into yoga and hair dye now, I'm a changed man" visage of the last 25 years or so.
Here's John in 1983, trying to make peace with cocaine, and his beer gut.
