Brandy Alexander

He wrote five to eight hours a day, usually seven days a week.

There's a wonderful passage in which he said, "I would work all morning," and that's when he was writing Streetcar, "and then spent with the rigors of creation, I would go around the corner to a bar and restaurant called Victor's where I'd have a Brandy Alexander, and eat a sandwich, and listen to Ink Spots recordings on the jukebox." And then he would go over to Rampart Street and swim in the New Orleans Athletic Club.

They had an indoor pool.

He swam every day.

But I think Trump has made the election about himself because he made the Republican Party about himself.

And he has had a disastrous, you know, it's not even two years yet, but he has had an 18-month run that's whatever the inverse of John Lennon's last weekend was, where John Lennon produced almost all of his great solo music in a period where he was in blackout drunk and getting an IV of Brandy Alexander's.

Trump has done the flip of that when it comes to politics.

It's just, you know, self-goal after auto-goal, goal after auto-goal.

I think for Effie, I'm going to go out on a limb here.

I think I would make her a Brandy Alexander.

Oh,

nice.

And that was the day Alice Cooper put down the gun, flushed the coke, and clawed his way back from the grave.

On this episode, blackouts, breakdowns, Brandy Alexanders, and the gory, glorious rebirth of Alice Cooper.

I'm Jake Brennan, and this is Disgraceland.

He tried to run, but there was no escape.

It was hard to follow if Alice was being honest.

Still, he couldn't believe he was sitting in this dimly lit room chatting with an honest-to-God Beatle, even if the Beatles' train of thought was a little hard to follow.

The Brandy Alexanders were part of the problem, but the cocaine definitely didn't help either.

John Lennon straightened up another four inch line of white powder on the small wooden table behind them.

Brandy slush.

Brandy Alexander slush.

Is that a thing?

Oh, it's a thing.
