Jonesy introducing Bowie to weed is funny on its face, and the full story is even funnier

Jonesy introducing Bowie to weed is funny on its face, and the full story is even funnier

Jonesy is a wild one with a low key persona. Sounds like he was too high to go searching for David!

"So I watched in wonder while Jonesy rolled these three fat joints. And we got stoned on all of them.”

It was a new sensation for Bowie, who came down with a bout of the munchies and found himself extraordinarily peckish. The singer remembered: “I became incredibly high and it turned into an in-fucking-credible hunger. I ate two loaves of bread. Then the telephone rang. Jonesy said, ‘Go and answer that for me, will you?’ So I went downstairs to answer the phone and kept on walking right out into the street.”

After consuming two loaves of bread, Bowie’s night came to a premature end: “I never went back. I just got intensely fascinated with the cracks in the pavement,” he said.

lashing the whip around, like Jimmy did back in the day, is an inspired choice! Fun to see one guitar master performing another master's work

Sometimes I think about the alternate timeline where Macca stepped in after Rog left

UJ/ Those folks must have gotten some interesting music. No More Lonely Nights already has Gilmie, with Rick it would probably be gorgeous. Rog would be even more apoplectic as he wouldn't be able to sneer at Paul's talents

RJ/ In that timeline Rog elbowed into New Order when Bernard did his side project, eventually butting heads with Hooky and getting ousted again

RIP Tim Curry 💔

Gigantic talent, so charming, so courageous. You know he's raising a glorious ruckus with Dolly, Bowie, Graham Chapman and other stellar performers. How lucky we were to be alive during his incredible career.

Feeling dragged down by the Stone, Polly and Gilmie recent shenanigans, so here's Nick being sassy to counter the ick

Nick, our unproblematic king, serving the Hey girl looks in the early days when Gilmie had recently joined, before Gilmie and Rog's opposing allure eclipsed him and Rick.

Saw this photo identified as Syd, doesn't appear to be him

Does anyone know who it is? Seems like a 90s photo?
