19 Straight Whiskeys If I would have been there at the Chelsea Hotel, drinking with Dylan Thomas the night they drove him away in an ambulance. I would have told him all the fame and booze was mutilating his soul. The hangers on, writers, editors, other drunks, leeches, and the women spreading their nylon legs. All of them killing him, or watching him die and doing nothing to stop it. They say he said on that night "I've had 18 straight whiskeys. I think thatıs the record." I would have told him all that shit was killing him. I would have cut him off at 9 whiskeys. But then again, maybe I mightıve kept my nose out of his business, and matched him drink for drink. Going on and beating his record with 19, and leaving with one of the women before the ambulance arrived. |
