Never appreciated just how good a song this is. Also mad that a song about taking Crystal meth was so massive commercially.

It's like the old Bill Hicks routine about burning your record collection if you're anti-drug. A lot of music in the rock era has had chemical influences, dating all the way back to Sgt. Pepper and the counterculture prior to that one. The biggest Alice in Chains record was almost entirely about heroin.

I always figured Chicago's "25 or 6 to 4" was about drugs, until I found an interview with Robert Lahm where he said the lyrics were the literal experience of writing songs and lyrics at ungodly hours. Which probably are not all that dissimilar, as experiences.
