There was a definite difference between Nixon and JFK on drug availability, which known to the Hollywood/Press crowd. Many regular drug users have supposed back pains or other pains which they claim necessitates their usage of illegal drugs. It is noticeable that Mr. Max Jacobson was based in Upper ...

Oxycontin was known to be an addiction danger way back in 2001, after its 1995 introduction.

All doctors knew abou...

Bored with the bored with the usa correction threads President Richard Nixon finally became President in 1969, during a time when the Vietnam War was raging and many were demanding its end and the return of US soldiers home. Nixon realized that many of the returning US soldiers were heroin addicts ...

Clearly, there are members of this forum who hate Joe Strummer and make up ugly stories about him -- weird. Well he wore raccoon hats, that's obscene. He had an excuse: it was the drugs. (I think we've all worn raccoons in some manner while under some kind of influence.) The Politics of Heroin in S...

this thread is funny I've always chuckled at the line "Yankee detectives are always on the TV, 'cause killers in America work seven days a week"! I think partly because of Joe's delivery and partly because it's still such a true reflection on America. There is no conspiracy behind this song. Joe mi...

Camden -- that rings a bell. The Clash as a band was formed in Camden Town, which is in Camden, and performed their rehearsals inexpensively there.

What an obscure piece of pop culture you've dragged from the shadows there. What neighbourhoods in London were designated by the Police as drug turf during the 1970's and/or now ? I don't know; I don't think it matters. Who knows: maybe the mayor might want to eradicate the drug dealing in that loc...

Rendition of what it was like for a New York City white guy to go to the police-designated drug turf black neighbourhood of Harlem to buy heroin, from Lou Reed/Velvet Underground (1971). Lexington Ave & 125th St is a NYC subway station which is near the 8th Ave & 116th St Harlem Frank Lucas heroin h...

What the hell is going on in this thread? Is this dude saying there was a conspiracy to change joes lyrics from the shitty early version to the final version? This sounds like the record company. Interestingly, I have yet to see a video on Youtube which shows Strummer singing the 1st Stanza of I'm ...

Sounds like you are making up your own theory. Heroin wasn't destroying Strummer's friends. Their own stupidity did that and Joe singing about Heroin killing his friends in 1976 is stupid talk how many of Joe's squatting community do you think could afford a bag of Heroin? Sure the Heartbreakers fa...
