        That's a quality interview! Send someone who doesn't like heavy
metal to interview Lemmy, of course! But how many other rockstars would
you get anything like that much content from with so little about the
music?

        Odd, though, it suggests he doesn't do speed any more. Since it
dates an apparent transition only to alcohol from 1975, I think that might
have been a misunderstanding but given how he evangelises it in other
interviews I've seen, a difficult one to explain... Yours,
                                                           Jon
