That guy I saw that night in the club with the white suit pointing finger pistols at everyone while Der Kommissar by Falco blared from the loudspeakers might be a close second to you and your compadre
I remember my friend telling me once that he was feeling Bowie's lyrics. My first question to him: "What are you on, and how much of it?"
I believe nothing captures the mood quite like 25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago, but I respect that others have more powerful associations elsewhere. It is the absolutely frantic guitar which makes it more than the lyrics, though they capture matters too, a bit.
my daughter was away at a GS weekend sleepover camp last year, and me and the gf got to talking 'bout my partying days ... she didn't know me backinaday, she grew up in Lehigh Valley - anyways, she asked me why i love(d) coke soooo damn much (she is still sXe), and i launched into some facacta drunken ode to the euphoric glory of being wired ... this was over dinner, after we had seen the Bowie exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum - a still from this genius ditty was on display, and i told her that nothing captured all the herky-jerky lip smacking, jaw grinding, mouth gnawing, paranoid splendor better ... it's the absolute tops of paeans to blow - remarkable, still gives me the shivers (clean for 26 years).
He gets left out of a lot of discussions on the greats, but damn, was he fast and clear.i've become a big fan of Mr. Kath ... yeah, this speaks to me big-time

yes.Not to derail this thread, but I've always wanted to ask this and figured this is as good of a place as any. Was cocaine just EVERYWHERE in the 80s? Movies and TV make it appear that way.

first time i ever heard of it was circa '76, from my mom's hairdresser Richie ... he was a big disco diva (NTTAWWT), and he did lines at the salon as she sat under the dryer - he called it "Booger Sugar" in his velour pants and "serf" haircut
When I was in college, that was a common name for it, and if you had blood in your nose from doing lines you had "rusty pipes."
huh, we would call the blood tinged straws and bills "rusty pipes"
It was always available in SF if you had the money (which I usually didn't)Not to derail this thread, but I've always wanted to ask this and figured this is as good of a place as any. Was cocaine just EVERYWHERE in the 80s? Movies and TV make it appear that way.
