Rolling Stone published a list of everyone who preformed and where they were now. It was surprising how many had died of drug overdoses, but Canned Heat was the only band that had lost 2 members by 1984.

I was in college in the early 70s and we thought drugs were going to be a very positive effect on society. But that was before cocaine showed up, and nobody would touch heroin. Now, with meth and opioids like fentanyl, I realize how naive we were.
