Snorting his way across the USA
Hot sweaty night. 16 years old. Roosevelt Roads Naval Station, Puerto Rico. High from huffing rush. A six pack of Schlitz already in me and my Puerto Rican friends and myself were already looking to score some more beer. And... then we did some doobies. (Don't tell the FAA.)

Then this. That was my very first memory of this song.

 
This vignette reminds me of a chapter in my early medical training. Before the etiology of the disease soon to be known as AIDS was discovered, one of the leading suspects was the use of poppers (or rush, as you refer to it) by the affected demographic …. those were troublesome times indeed.
