Between you and I, do you mean cocaine like Richard Pryor means:
- Prior his physiological and psychological cocaine addiction, rather cursory exploratory cocaine steps.
- During, from a scale of (he's rich course he parties) to (oh sad) to (oh gross) to (oh gross AND sad) or
- After, aging gracefully in a red track suit.
I was thinking more like Dennis Leary in the early 90’s.
I'll take that as a win.
Ego came out of that better than expected or within the realm of possibility actually.
