Description
The Beatles and Drugs: A Story of Excess and Redemption The Beatles' story is inextricably linked to the world of drugs. From their early days of teenage drinking and pill-popping, to the psychedelic Summer of Love and the darker side of excess, drugs played a central role in their lives. This book tells the story of how the Beatles' experiences with acid, pills, and other substances influenced their music and relationships, and how these experiences ultimately led to their downfall. Riding So High is the only full-length study of the Beatles and drugs, delving into the world of speeding Beatniks, corrupt police officers, and Hollywood Vampires. With a cast of characters that includes a rogue dentist and a script-happy aristocratic doctor, this book offers a unique and fascinating look at the Beatles' story. A new work in Beatles historiography, Riding So High is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the Beatles' story.
