Of Jam and Shiraz…
Friday, April 20th, 2007When I turned 18 we did a sort of lad’s rite of passage thing. Some guys did sickly things like inhaling a whole cigar. Others did amateur self harm (but not on Iggy Pop’s scale).
The idea I most admired was the guy who ate a whole pot of jam. This doesn’t sound very rock and roll does it?! But have you ever tried it? The first spoonful is delicious but by the time you are half way through the jar, it is getting sickly to the point of making you gip. In that sense it’s a bit like drinking an Aussie Shiraz.
Stumble It!
