I know this may tarnish my image as a world-class cool singer songwriter forever, but I’ll say it anyway…
I’ve never done drugs…not even pot.
Whew! There. I said it. I can see my subscribers fleeing to find another much cooler singer songwriter to follow. G’bye everyone. I hope you’ll come back some day. Please don’t tell anyone else what you’ve read here today.
