    Oh and I'd avoid participating in anything that involves any form of psychedelics and uses the words "retreat", "healing" or "shaman". That shit isn't only bogus and gross but it's also potentially dangerous.

    oh yeah, fuck that.  but i will say i've never eaten shrooms by myself, and feel like it might not be super enjoyable as a purely solo experience for me.  i need to be with good friends - people i can trust.  so many wonderful memories along the way.

    Mushrooms are awesome 

    And I don’t just mean fun. They lead to a very unique type of introspection that is brilliant... and sometimes dark.  I always make sure I’m in good company and I’m nature.

    Mushrooms are awesome and I try to use them once a year at least. I’ve never used anything more intense.

    How painful is this to watch?


    until dave leaves it's really bad.


    he's clearly a character. whatever reaction he gets to his character, he will push it more. 


    Happy ending? https://exclaim.ca/music/article/blurs_dave_rowntree_apologizes_for_2003_attack_against_nardwuar


    Now a politician campaigning for London's Labour party, Rowntree has issued an apology for the Nardwuar attack some eight years later, blaming his cocaine addiction on the unwarranted bullying. Here's the full statement, taken from Rowntree's site:
    
 There has been some speculation as to why I accepted a recent blog comment linking to a clip of me bullying the Canadian journalist Nardwuar in 2003.

    
 The reason is, that I can't take the credit for the things I've done that I'm proud of, without taking the blame for the things that I'm ashamed of.

    And this is definitely one of the things I'm ashamed of.

    There's no excuse for my bullying, and the reason I did it is perhaps nearly as sordid.

    As I've written in the past I became addicted to cocaine during the nineties. Now I've no idea if it has this effect on anyone else, but for me, the day after a cocaine binge I'd sometimes fly into a murderous rage, and take it out on whoever happened to be around. In this case, it happened to be the journalist.

    To be clear, Nardwuar didn't do anything to provoke me. I sent an apology to him the next day, but I didn't hear anything back from him, so I assume he didn't accept it.

    These days I keep a clip of the interview on my phone. I don't drink, smoke or take drugs, and if from time to time I wonder if I'm doing the right thing treading this (sometimes rather lonely) path I play it, and have the answer.

    Nardwuar responded to the apology on his Twitter page, where he wrote, "Thanks to Dave of Blur for this apology... I do appreciate it!"
