A fascinating footnote in drug history, June 29, 2005
This review is from: Reefer Madness (Audio CD)
And even if you don't embrace the drug subculture, you'll find much to interest you in this compilation. You know how all the right wing extremists keep complaining about how things aren't innocent anymore? How all artists sing about is sex and drugs? Well, they're wrong. Quite frankly, music was never innocent. Even mainstream artists are represented here. It's often quite jaw-dropping, and bizarrly pro-drug. The innocent old days? I don't beleive so. An interesting representation of what people thought of drugs in those old days. If you enjoy this, also check out Lucille Bogan. She was a blues artist who in the 20s and 30s sang about sex graphically, and used language and sex talk that'd make Easy E and 2 Live Crew blush. A fascinating, if unessential, album.
