I know who you are. You're a parent and you want to teach your kids about drugs. Sit them down (chained), load up
Psych Out! (which came free with the April 2006 issue of
Mojo Magazine,
top left) and force the little hellions to listen to
Blow Up by
The In Crowd. Tell them, "This is how you'll sound on
good drugs (i.e., uppers)". Later, nail their feet to the ground and play
Revolution (Top Gear Radio Session) written and performed by the very same band after they took
bad drugs (i.e., hippy psychedelics) and changed their name to
Tomorrow. Explain to your children, "Bad drugs twist your brain into writing songs with an overabundance of time signatures while convincing you that the image of your band is best served by adopting a new spacey moniker referencing the infinite". The closer is the clincher:
Barclay James Harvest's
Pools Of Blue, a soft heartfelt ballad that should keep them off downers well into teenhood. If all that fails to scare them, show this picture of what
Barclay James Harvest looks like now (

Thank you for your selfless servitude to the parenting public. It's so hard to find free advice these days. You are a John Rosemond among the thorny masses. When does your column go into syndication?
Column? You're soaking in it!
