Waiting for the Man: The Story of Drugs and Popular Music (1988) is a book on the relationship between recreational drugs and popular music. Drugs and popular music have gone hand-in-hand since the earliest days of jazz at the fin de siècle. Harry Shapiro is an academic connoisseur of the subject.
From the publisher:
- Drugs counsellor and rock journalist Shapiro documents the favoured drug of each era of pop history and studies in detail the most famous casualties-Charlie Parker, Hendrix, Keith Moon, Jim Morrison et al-while examining the disturbing collusion between two billion-dollar industries. First published in 1988, this new edition features over 100 pages of new material on Tupac, Cobain and the rise of Acid House.
