overdoses.......

[bombaysaffires]

you know, with all the conversation around Prince, and the possible use of "save drugs" when he possibly overdosed made me think about Stevie. Whether the Prince stories turn out to be true or not, I have to wonder if any such interventions had to be done on Stevie. I'm suspecting yes. Paul Fishkin talks about them having to "scrape her off the floor" more than once, and of what he called "near-overdoses" on the road. Not all overdoses are fatal, and I got the sense that because they didn't kill her he didn't consider them real "overdoses' but honestly, I can totally imagine her having been found unconscious and having to get emergency medical intervention. Someone in an earlier thread said that they think she's got nothing more to hide of the "bad stuff" that happened, but I think she really would hate for people to think about or dwell on the real gritty and grim aspects of her addictions.

Just with all this Prince talk about such things makes me think of how damn lucky she is.
