Fleetwood Marijuana

[Livia]

I've got a SYW promo poster - the wide shot of everyone in the main "living room" area of the house they used. You can clearly see a pipe on the coffee table. It's between the headphones and the icy beverage.

Stevie has said recently that she "no longer does any hardcore drugs." That of course opens up a lot of speculation. I think when she's doing that rant in Destiny Rules saying "this isn't about art" that she's clearly high. Stevie has never really hid her love of marijuana... just listen to her little rant at the end of this remixed version of 'The Dealer' lol

Lord, that just makes me giggle like a schoolgirl every time lol. Obviously that demo is 25 years old, but I still have no doubts in my mind that she indulges in the weed

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if any of them smoke things, although it's a little disheartening.

I just don't get the whole drug thing. Like.....Why do musicians use them? Real ones don't, because music is a thinking man's game, and if you aren't able to think properly, it ain't working.

damn...I could really go for a bowl right now.

I think you'd better read up on "musicians" & "drug use"...more "REAL" musicians have used/still use some sort of "attitude adjustment" than not.

It is true that social acceptance of drugs has done a 180 degree turn than just a few years ago.

Agreed. I highly (pun intended) recommend "Musicians in Tune," by Jenny Boyd.

The curiosity stems from having watched Destiny Rules for the first time in years and mistaking John's ciggarette for a joint in the scene where Stevie arrives. It got me thinking. Do any of them still enjoy getting stoned, and if so, are they open about it?

Well, we know he doesn't drink at all anymore. So...yeah...maybe he doesn't smoke weed either.

I have the special edition SYW CD (it has a hard, book like appearance and it is burnt orange with a raised bamboo pattern) and in the middle there is a huge color fold-out panoramic view thin poster of the band in the living room recording that clearly shows a grey pipe next to a glass of soda (the icy beverage) on the coffee table.

Those are two very different drugs. Perhaps, since he's not drinking, he might be hitting the bud more frequently! Plus, pot has gotten significantly stronger since the 60's and 70's, when you had to sift out the seeds and stems. I haven't encountered a seed in years.

When has John said this? Anytime recently?
