Sir Paul reveals Beatles drug use.
1. Paul, this is not news. Do you have a record out or something? I read your comparisons of cocaine to the novocaine you got given at the dentist as a kid years ago.
2. I find it rather sad you feel the need to be so bloody blase about the heroin thing. And the coke thing. And the marijuana thing. You know people these things killed. Some of them were your colleagues and friends. Perhaps you're suffering from some sort of memory problem because my darling, you sound like an apologist twat. In short, you sound like Lou Reed and it's not funny.
3. It's also relatively well-known that you've smoked dope for about 35 years and stopped (as far as I know) because Heather doesn't like it. This is the only nice thing I have to say towards her. Surely your mediocre, sap-filled output for the last few decades is the best anti-grass argument we've heard in a long while.
4. Stop trying to be cool. You're not cool like John was cool. You're not cool like Morrison or Jagger were cool. You're not, you're not, you're not, so PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD AND HOLY IN THE WORLD WE LIVE IN STOP TRYING TO ACT LIKE IT! You might think that 'revealing' your drug past will make you seem like less of a twat. You're wrong. We know you took drugs- you said so in 1967 and you did it on television. We know the Beatles songs after a certain point were immensely coloured by the drug use of the four Beatles. WE KNOW! I personally like those songs in spite of the drug stuff.
5. Not all of us find a past history of drug use that cool. Some of us like you and your old mates in spite of, not because, of it. Saying that 'you didn't fancy going down that [heroin] road' is incredibly insulting to the people who have died and who are suffering from this nasty, horrific addiction. I'm not usually one of the politically-correct brigade but honestly, did you not think about what you were saying? Do you know how FUCKING LUCKY you are to be able to say that? Ask Eric Clapton or Keef, cos they're about the only two alive to be able to tell you. Mind you, the day after your former best pal was gunned down in the street you said it was 'a drag'. Perhaps you're just blase about things that matter.
6. STOP TRYING TO BE COOL! PLEASE! Paul, honestly, I love and adore you and I will love and adore you until the end of time. I love and adore you because you're Paul McCartney, so please stop trying to be someone else.
PS. MOJO Radio really rocks, man!

Date: 2004-06-02 20:51 (UTC)You might say I was driven half mad trying to write a dissertation about them last year, stopped then wrote 10,000 words in four days.
You might say that there are four voices in the world I can't live without and one of them is Morrison's.
Yeah, I guess I'm a fan. Not a mad Church of St Jim grave graffiti Doorzoid, but a fan.
