Do you take drugs? Are you bored of feeling the same old effects? May The Black Cockerel recommend Zopiclone for this silly season. Zopiclone is a prescribed sleeping pill, which I tried a few years back when I, well, couldn't sleep. If slightly innebriated, or just wide awake, take one of these babies. You won't sleep, and you may irritate the people around you, but its an experience. The first time I did this was on the way back from Glastonbury in 1997, thinking I could do with being fast asleep for the long journey home, instead, I spent an hour or so finding joy and wonder in the pattern on the seat in front of me, then proceeded to piss my friends off by repeating the same questions, "Can I play cards?" and "Why not?", you'll find this hysterical without even realising you're doing it. Another time I knocked one back and went round to my mates to "jam", and though I have only a basic grasp of the Hammond organ, the results were pretty impressive, not that I remember, but we recorded ourselves. Every song punctuated with, "What time is it Rob?" "It's 10 past 7", as you become stuck in a kinda Groundhog day, only one that Bill Murray, or indeed anyone else, would never want to end. Your legs turn to jelly, everythings wobbly and everythings great. Perhaps if people embraced this drug, like me and about one other person I know, a new, proud, thrusting music scene would be created! So get yourself to the doctors, draw big bags under your eyes and ask for a hazy crazy Zopiclone night
