33. "coke don't really build an appetite tho, speaking of appetites" In response to In response to 29
I really wanna know what level of money Marvin Gaye was spending or ingesting compliments of the label or his Hollywood friends because Marvin (true professional soul legend that he is) so far is the only coke-addict that I ever heard of who never actually snorted coke.
He thought snorting it would affect his nodules & singing voice.
So instead in a far less efficient manner/method he just ate it, eight-balls & half-ounces at a time, jaw/mouth probably in a perpetual state of being ready for an out-patient dental procedure.
Bet at those Studio 54-styled late-70's parties people had a code or a signal to hide the shit when he was about to enter a room.
'Ah shit man, here comes Marv, you know he just gonna eat up all our coke again...sick of that shit!'.
Grabbing the baggies of roadies & turning 'em upside down like he was polishing off a Fun Dip pouch while the rest of the team players sat around with their straws looking at each other like 'what we gonna say? He's Marvin fuckin Gaye'.
