Happy Birthday Cocaine!
Aug 30 1859
At the University of Göttingen, PhD candidate Albert Niemann isolates the alkaloid C17H21NO4 from leaves of the plant Erythroxylum coca. Niemann names his white, powdery discovery "cocaine" and observes firsthand its peculiarly strong anesthetic effect: "it benumbs the nerves of the tongue, depriving it of feeling and taste." |
Happy Birthday!!
Hope it's a great day!  |
Heh.....remember when cocaine was the scary drug? Now, parents are relieved when they discover it's coke and not meth their kids are snorting.

If you wanna hang out youve got to take her out; cocaine.
If you wanna get down, down on the ground; cocaine. She dont lie, she dont lie, she dont lie; cocaine. If you got bad news, you wanna kick them blues; cocaine. When your day is done and you wanna run; cocaine. She dont lie, she dont lie, she dont lie; cocaine. If your thing is gone and you wanna ride on; cocaine. Dont forget this fact, you cant get it back; cocaine. She dont lie, she dont lie, she dont lie; cocaine. She dont lie, she dont lie, she dont lie; cocaine. -Eric Clapton |
So now we know where Snowflake got her handle.:D

(Ooh White Lines) Vision dreams of passion
(Blowin’ through my mind) and all the while I think of you (High price) a very strange reaction (For us to unwind) the more I see, the more I do (Something like a phenomenon) Baby! (Tellin your body to come along, but white lines blow away) (Blow! Rock it! Blow!) Ticket to ride, white line highway Tell all your friends, they can go my way Pay your toll, sell your soul Pound for pound costs more than gold The longer you stay, the more you pay My white lines go a long way Either up your nose or through your vein With nothin to gain except killin’ your brain (Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock!) (Blow!) (Ahhh) Higher, baby (Ahhh) Get higher, baby! (Ahhh) Get higher, baby! And don't ever come down! (Freebase!) (Pipeline) pure as the driven snow (Connected to my mind) and now I'm havin’ fun, baby! (High price) it's getting kinda low (Cause it makes you feel so nice) I need some one-on-one, baby! (Don't let it blow your mind away) Baby! (And go into your little hideaway ‘cause white lines blow away) (Blow! ) A million magic crystals, painted pure and white A multi-million dollars almost overnight Twice as sweet as sugar, twice as bitter as salt And if you get hooked, baby, it's nobody else's fault, so don't do it!.... Happy birthday, scumbag. |
SNOWBLIND - Black Sabbath
(Written by Tony Iommi, Bill Ward, Geezer Butler, and Ozzy Osbourne) What you get and what you see Things that don't come easily Feeling happy in my pain Icicles within my brain (Cocaine) Something blowing in my head Winds of ice that soon will spread Down to freeze my very soul Makes me happy, makes me cold My eyes are blind but I can see The snowflakes glisten on the trees The sun no longer sets me free I feel the snowflakes freezing me Let the winter sunshine on Let me feel the frost of dawn Fill my dreams of flakes of snow Soon I'll feel the chilling glow Right Don't you think I know what I'm doing? Don't tell me that it's doing me wrong You're the one that's really the loser This is where I feel I belong Blind Crystal world with winter flowers Turn my days to frozen hours Lying snowblind in the sun Will my ice age ever come? __________ hmm...seems to have been a popular subject in rock music. go figure :p |

Cale also wrote "After Midnight" - another tune that Clapton covered. |
