Went down a YouTube rabbit hole and came across this live version of Carry On Wayward Son. I can't imagine how many mountains of coke singer/keyboardist Steve Walsh had snorted before this show, but it's on full display here, lol...

If you're too impatient to watch the whole thing, the "high" points are around 1:45 and from 3:15 and beyond. Enjoy!

I’d go with Bowie’s Station to Station as the all-time cocaine album.

LInda Rondstadt

In a 1975 interview with Rolling Stone, Ronstadt admitted: "I had to have my nose cauterized twice. I think they shot sodium nitrate up there. I'm okay now. I don't put anything up my nose anymore, except occasionally my finger."

I recently listened to a Crime In Sports podcast from the archives about Steve Howe...I actually started feeling sorry for the guy about halfway in, because he knew he was totally fricking up his career but couldn't help himself anymore.

The whole album ---Black Sabbath -Vol.4. They had a coke
budget when making this record in LA. OZZy and Tony have some funny stories about the recording of this album and being coke filed most of the time.

Didn't he say something like "I don't remember 1972 at all"?

George Jones has to be on there somewhere. Read his book. Couldn’t believe how much coke he snorted

Mick Fleetwood. Blew (not intended) $60 million on coke.

He estimated that he has snorted over 7 miles of blow.

I would not normally think of him in this category, but Van seems coked out here.
Van Morrison "Caravan" with The Band, The Last Waltz.

Bowie said he stopped doing cocaine the day he blew his nose and it felt like part of his brain came out of it.
