I read this (http://www.acrylicafternoons.com/sorted.html) today and was reminded why I like Jarvis Cocker so much.

And to think of the irony of his later battle with cocaine addiction...

I'm more intrigued by the other stories on that Mirror front page

Who's "Little B"? What was the "Peter Pan Pupil"? I need to know!

On a serious note, yeah, the whole furore over that cover was a bit ridiculous. I have a copy of it and, as the site states, there's no obvious reference to drugs at all - well, certainly none that the unitiated, for want of a better word, would be aware of.


I'd forgotten how much fun

all that E's and Wizz palarver was. As a 14 year old boy at the time, it did actually teach me how to make a speed wrap, which made me feel super-duper-excited, but ultimately made me feel a bit stupid, as I was always to scared to try drugs.

Mind you, all that fuss over it shows how far media attention has shifted now - positively revelling in drugged-up pop stars' actions today.

Thanks for the link!
