    Well obviously that’s the REAL classic.

    Did you know he wrote all the songs and music for the coked-up Robert Altman live action version of “Popeye”? Every songs except “Popeye the sailor man” including the epic “Food, food, food” which has embedding disabled by request

    Read the chapter in “Easy rider, Raging bulls” about how much cocaine was consumed making that movie. It explains a lot about the film, including Robin William’s face.

    Query the word “Malta” on google books for “Easy Rider Raging Bulls”

    dude i will have to check out that cocaine fueled chapter, although i’m concerned it could have the same effect on me as reading anthony kedis’s autobiography ‘scar tissue’ had, i.e. so much talk of drugs and partying can lead to (even when used to illustrate its destructive nature)….uncontrolled drug taking and partying..! a good or bad thing?

    “Now let me get this straight”

    “You put the lime in the coconut and mix it all up…”
