Eight Druggiest Rock Star Stories

From Everybody Must Get Stoned: Rock Stars on Drugs, by R.U. Sirius, comes eight druggy rock star stories. Most of them are chosen for their extreme levels of disgusting, but here's a nice feel-good bit called, "When Ozzy Got Some of That Good Government Cocaine."

In a 1999 High Times interview, Ozzy talked about the time he had the best coke he'd ever had. He said, "I'm lying by the pool one day and I met this guy and I ask him, 'You want to do some coke?' He goes, 'no no no.' I'm whacking this stuff up my nose, it's a brilliant sunny day, and this guy's sitting there with one of those reflectors under his chin getting a suntan. I say, 'What do you do.' He says, 'I work for the government.' 'Uh... what do you do with the government?' 'I work for the drug squad.' I sez, 'You're fucking joking.' He shows me his badge. I fuckin' flipped...flames were coming out of my fingers, man. He says, 'Oh you're all right. I'm the guy that got you the coke.'"

Awwwww.
