Drinking and Drugging

“CRACK is wack.”
Remember that
phrase? I heard many people repeat it last week as they appraised
the waste of Whitney
Houston’s later years and flashed back to her 2002 interview with
Diane Sawyer, when she uttered those immortal words. She was
bristling not at rumors that she abused drugs but at insinuations that
she turned to cheap ones. With album sales like hers, you didn’t have to
suck on a pipe.
Sawyer wanted to know what Houston was on. Everyone wanted to know what
Houston was on, and news reports after her death took unconfirmed
inventory of the pills in her hotel suite, wondering if they represented
the extent of her indulgences.
