1. Love this

When getting "stoned" meant getting drunk.

3. Stoned meant a lot of things back then.

Basically, escaping your sober, normal reality.

5. Was this written in 1965? In my crowd getting stoned in 1965 meant only one thing. Weed.

6. Coke was a known back in the 30's. They wrote songs about it.

There wasn't a DEA to control drugs back then.

2. I actually got to see her perform at a blues club once. She was no longer "big" except for

that voice. "Hound Dog" brought the house down.
