What is the "Dope" Columbia talks about in Rose Tint?
Okay so in Columbia's verse in Rose Tint in both RHS and RHPS, she says "the only thing that gives me hope is a love of a certain dope". Now this could be a reference to Eddie and in RHPS that seems to be the only thing that makes sense. However, there is a plot difference in the musical that I think makes the line make more sense.
In the RHS, instead of Columbia also getting frozen by the "Medusa" switch, she gives her big monologue and then the script says "(RIFF RAFF sprays her.)" and then Columbia changes demeanour and exclaims, "Oh wow - I dig that- it's wicked, it's a gas - I'm groovy I'm hip, man - it's like a trip - ah, wow, my God - freak out baby - dig you later."
So in the RHS, it seems much more logical that her "love of a certain dope", is whatever drug Riff Raff sprayed at her. I think this also makes more sense than Eddie in general because why would her dead lover be "the only thing that gives her hope"?
I'm curious if anyone else has ever thought about this or has different opinions.
