You Know Not!

on ? Oh, yes I did! I was sitting here at the computer working on this site, and mellowing out to the tunes, thinking “that sounds familiar”. And then I heard jay say “Johnny Mathis”.

Here’s a question for ya. I know people in real life who have struggled with prescription drug addiction. I think we all do. And yet, I can’t ever remember hearing about a celebrity suffering from this malady. You hear plenty about alcohol and street drugs, but not prescription . One wonders if the only docs over there in Hellywood are plastic surgeons.
