Mick Jagger about heroin (1980):
“Well, one of the things I was pointing out in a recent interview was that people think of heroin as a glamorous drug whereas really it’s very expensive and not very good… So I thought there was this glamorizing of it by the magazines and TV, and that was what the danger was going to be with heroin… And then I couldn’t believe the cover of the Soho when it came out – with that beautiful blonde girl, and the heroin… because it’s not like that at all. And even the inside piece was all about these people who could sort of handle it on the weekend, you know what I mean? And it isn’t like that at all… It’s not a recreational drug. I don’t think there is such a thing as a recreational drug, but anyway, heroin certainly isn’t it… I think it’s really irresponsible.”
