#221 - RELAXERS - - Metal Songs about Drugs

Metal Nerdery Podcast

“You know I've smoked a lot of grass, Oh Lord I’ve popped a lot of pills…” – The Pusher

Since before the dawn of heavy metal, RELAXERS have been a recurring theme in song lyrics. Whether revered with praise and appreciation or reviled through tales of tragedy and woe, one cannot deny the obvious power and impact RELAXERS have had on heavy music throughout the years.

While there are an endless array of RELAXERS available in the world (both legal and illegal, natural and manmade), there are an equally endless variety of songs about them, so many in fact that we could do an entire episode called “Snowblind” although there’s much more to metal than the not-so-secret South American plant powder for which Black Sabbath “unofficially” named their 4th album and John Pemberton “officially” used in his refreshingly stimulating soft drinks at the turn of the 20th century.

We finally made it to “Nosober November”. Time to get ready to become “unfiltered & unredacted” as you “pass the shortest straw” and follow the bouncing 8-ball while embracing “the darkness inside you” and preparing your blotter for the dropper after you “go and pound some Molsons”. It’s time to understand the “Indica vs Sativa” analogy and be ready to “go do some ayahuasca in the jungle” and “taste the rainbow” while congratulating your Ohio friends for finally “making it legal” when you JOIN US as we reflect on the various blessings and curses inherent in a variety of songs about RELAXERS.
