Miki Berenyi Pt. 3: Drugs are Bad? - The Paraphernalia of Professionals

Curious Creatures

The first time may be exciting, but it sucks the life out of everything.
It's the druggist’s dilemma - missing stuff when young
Lush stopped and Everything changed
It's good the world changed too.

Early 90’s Game Changers
Life without a safety net, no gold watch
Lol found his Inner Chuck Berry in South America
Miki Liked that and Budgie’s drumming
The Cure and The Banshees emerged from an Innocent Time

Gilbert and George v Lol and Budgie
Drinking with The Wankers at 5am
From Whitechapel to Soho
Brit Pop was a marketing construct.

Elastica’s difficult 2nd album took them to France
Siouxsie and Budgie’s house for inspirational tea
There should be a Book – Book Events are Cool
People always ask the question that isn't a question

Miki wasn't part of any club's elite
Who’d want to be a member of the club that would have us as a member?
Miki felt humiliated amongst the paraphernalia of professional drug takers
Miki was not good with drugs – a weeping-jello-mess-in-crisis in the corner
Lol backed off from it – a blessing in disguise.

Drugs took away a lot of personalities, all looking for a good time
Peer Pressure - You’re either built for it or you’re not.
The High was a Low on so many levels
Blimey! - We could talk forever!
Did Budgie inhale?
