You know, the thing about it is that I actually tried to get the drugs out of high times and to make it into a counter-cultural magazine.
Ever wondered what it's like to be at the heart of rock 'n' roll history and the counter-culture movement? In this episode of Dopey, Dave and Chris sit down with Larry 'Ratso' Sloman, a true New York City legend. Ratso's journey is nothing short of extraordinary. He started out writing for Rolling Stone Magazine, joined Bob Dylan on the iconic Rolling Thunder tour, and later became the editor-in-chief for National Lampoon and High Times. But that's just scratching the surface.
Ratso has also co-written some of the most famous autobiographies, including 'Scar Tissue' with Anthony Kiedis and 'Private Parts' with Howard Stern. And yes, he's got stories about Mike Tyson and Howard Stern too! But it's not all glitz and glamor. Ratso opens up about his struggles with drug addiction and shares his thoughts on the impact of heroin on New York's Lower East Side. He even dives into some conspiracy theories about the CIA's alleged involvement in drug trafficking.
This episode is a rollercoaster of emotions and insights, blending humor with raw honesty. So, if you're curious about the untold stories behind some of your favorite rock legends or interested in the gritty realities of addiction and recovery, this episode is a must-listen. Get ready for a wild ride with Ratso and the Dopey crew!
