...Stones, the Rascals, and most of the English blues people. Art is left pretty much up to the Beatles and Dylan. The common denominator of all the popular groups is that they have realized that they are not just "doing their thing" but that they are putting on a show, that they are different from their audience in some very material ways, and that they must maintain a sort of friendly inaccessibility. Richard Nixon and Eric Clapton share in common this ability to convey their superiority. That's why both are culture-heroes of different segments of our society...
...methadone be come tolerant in the sense that they observe no outward effect from it. Presumably because methadone works on the same brain centers as heroin, it induces a cross-tolerance to heroin and blocks its effects.

He had received the "kiss of death" from his capo (boss) and cellmate Vito Genovese...
