Eccentric oddball and author RU Sirius --best known as onetime Editor of cyberpunk bible Mondo 2000-- has just released a new book, "Everybody Must Get Stoned: Rock Stars on Drugs." Sirius calls the book, which details the drug-induced exploits of such noted artists as Keith Richards, Bob Marley, and Paul McCartney and includes a chapter on rap stars and steroids, "a funny, tragic, silly and occasionally lucid piece of excellent trash," while Booklist wrote, "Sirius manages to place James Brown and Charlie Daniels cheek-by-jowl in a list of rock stars against drugs--closer than they ever came corporeally or musically." Sounds like a must-read for your coffee table or bathroom. The book is available from Amazon.
