DUFF MCKAGAN - "I Snorted Perhaps My Body Weight In Blow"
December 23, 2010, 13 years ago
DUFF MCKAGAN - formerly of GUNS N' ROSES, currently in VELVET REVOLVER and LOADED - has issued his latest blog for Seattle Weekly. An excerpt follows:
"Yes, last week was pretty damn interesting if you were me. At long last, I had surgery to repair my torn and damaged sinuses left non-functional after a long-ago bout with the cocaine. From sometime in 1989 until about November 1993, I snorted perhaps my body weight in varying degrees of good, bad, and straight-up shitty blow. I don't recommend this to any of you young readers. I was NOT such a smart 20-something. Nope, just an ordinary drug-addict.I remember trying to glamorize all my drug and alcohol use back then. I would romanticize my life and my struggle as something noble and just. I was an ARTIST, maaan! I NEEDED to dull myself to certain inputs or else my art would suffer. Yep, before I knew it, I was strung-out and terrified. Crappy stuff."
