I'm just going to say that my life got much easier and better with my recovery.
Imagine the raw energy of punk rock intertwined with the chaotic struggle of addiction. In this riveting episode of 'Dopey', Dave and his enigmatic co-host welcome punk rock legend Handsome Dick Manitoba from The Dictators. Set against the gritty backdrop of New York's Lower East Side in the 1970s, Manitoba's tales are a rollercoaster of debauchery, love, and dope sickness.
His candid recounting of addiction to quaaludes, Vicodin, and heroin paints a vivid picture of the highs and devastating lows that defined his life. But it's not all darkness. Manitoba's story is also one of resilience and recovery. He opens up about the critical role sobriety has played in his life, especially in dealing with grief. This episode also marks the return of Alan with his sharp critiques, plus listener emails, reviews, and the announcement of the Mountainside Scholarship winner.
Whether you're drawn to punk rock or stories of overcoming addiction, this episode promises laughter, tears, and a deep dive into the life of a true punk icon.
