I know they smoke up every now and again. And Mr.. Moore took LSD when he
was younger (and probably still does).

Just a little tidbit:
On Providence (from DN) Mike What says:
"You gotta watch the mojo thurston, your memory just goes out the
window."
He is talking about Pot. Yes kids thats right there is a
chance that perhaps our hero engaged in such illicit activities!
TheDrumber
well, the songs "providence" and "my arena" both have drug references to them.
They smoke pot once and a while, but i'm pretty sure that they're not big
druggies or anything.
ah, if only everyone knew the power of moderation like SY...

I wouldn't think Thurston and Kim do anymore, what with a kid and all,
but you never know.

What about their collaboration with Cypress Hill "I love you mary jane"?

In article <34DAE9...@dse.nl>, high on speed, LSD, and crack, michiel

these remarkable words:

Well, Michiel, most readers of this fabulous and interesting newsgroup
will be quick to point out some references to "pot" which - as both you
and I know cos we are dutch - is freely available in every coffeeshop in
The Netherlands, from the Bulldog in Amsterdam to the "Grandma's Recipe"
in that little cosy village up north. What they do not know is that the
Sonic Youth are fervent glue-sniffers. Sad, I know, and the events that
lead to this persistent addiction are quite unfortunate. It happened back
in the days when the Youth were still an underground band, only known to
those people who had their ears and a heart set to alternative (as opposed
to mainstream...) sonic sounds. Long before the days little 12 year old
punks started to use the sacred pieces of SY noise to upset their unlucky
parents. But I'm wandering off. Anyway, they were in their studio
improvising the way only they know how to improvise. Next door, however,
builders were busy making a room soundproof. To do that they glued that
special foam stuff on the walls. Those men made sure they wore protections
against the penetrating and highly seductive smell, but had no idea to
warn the people in the nearby rooms. And so it happened that the Youth
were pulled towards that magic smell of glue. And never ever they could
escape it.
Yes, I know, even the greatest stars have their crosses to bear.

I think it was in the Sonic Youth bio that they had adrug story. They had a
joint on a pin. They would put the cup over it, let the smoke build up, and
then in hale.
Maybe I read that some where else though.

You also have to take into consideration that Daydram Nation was released
10 years ago. I'm not saying they don't use, but that is a somewhat
outdated reference. I wouldn't look at them any differently if they did or
not, but I don't think they do anymore. When I saw Two Dollar Guitar this
summer, I never even saw Wteve with a beer. So, who knows?

First of all, i find it hard to believe that sonic youth's drug use is
relevant... like, they make great, experimental music, who cares if it is
drug nduced or not. If they do, does that mean that if you smoke a bowl you
will be able to create a masterpiece like Evol? I doubt it.
Second, there are a few drug references laden through the albums...
in the mind of a bourgeois reader ...
"pass it around or stick it on a pin"
anyways, it seems like Thurston anyways condemns drug use in Junkie's
Paradise on WM

i assume that you are referring to Eric's Trip as a drug reference, well,
unfortunately, that is incorrect. The songs lyrics are almost verbatim
taken from an Andy Warhol movie ... i forget the name and im too lazy to
look it up.

On Junkie's Promise, he deals with _addiction_, not the same thing as use.

I don't know how reliable my source is but apparently Junkies Promise is
about Thurston and his record buying habits, and not about smack

thurston was into acid in the early 80s (pre-sy), but not now. i think
all they really do is smoke (cigarettes) and drink now...nothing to
excess, though.

On the official web page (I believe), there's an interview where TM says
JP is about the nature of addiction and its effects on friendship in
general. Kurt Cobain was in his mind but it's not about him specifically.
Dadanoise
eric's trip is both a film & a drug reference. the TRIP is indeed a refrence
to LSD, as the song itself is a reference to Warhol superstar Eric Emerson
tripping in (i think) "Chelsea Girls."

No the reference was to Mike Watt's message on Thurston's answering machine
on Providence... You know watt warning Thurston that his short term
memory is going right out the window....

in responce to the original question, i read an interview with thurston and kim
in a people magazine during the release of "washing machine" and that
question of drug use came up in the interview and the said that they don't
usually do that kind of stuff considering that they have to raise a small
child. whether or not they did anything before or are doing any now is beyond
me.
thank you
