I want to watch this. I missed the first one though so I'm going to wait until I can start at the beginning. I'm sure VH1 will play them multiple times.

I'll watch out for them on the Sundance channel this weekend.

I caught them all on VH1, they did a really good job keeping the anti-drug side of it even with the pro-drug, it was very objective. Pretty good documentary all around.

Priceless.

The 70s/80s heyday of cocaine must've been something to witness.

I think I will make an "All Coke Rock Mix," with the worst LA studio nightmares ever produced.

Either that or just queue up "Always Crashing in The Same Car" which was inspired by the funniest coke story I've ever heard.
