"As people from the band, prefer to call a ginecologist and take toothbath and then do it"

[Marcotonio]

@cutandpaste1 so beetlebum is about heroin addicts

[loyalwull]

@cutandpaste1 when people smoke heroin it turns in to a stick goo that the chase hence chasing the dragon when the stick brown goo goes cold it goes hard and heroin addicts call it a beetle

[Pacheko296]

Can't...understand...what...la­nguage...Damon...speaks...

[notpeterhansen]

Great interview - the movie No Distance Left To Run surprised me positively!

@nodestrinylive4now - You think so? Beetlebum was released in 1997 and this interview was filmed in late 2010 .. That's a difference of 13 years! People age a lot in 13 years .. And the drugs probably helped too! ;-)

@cutandpaste1 - The song has long been rumored to be about heroin and the sensations it gives you. There's probably some references to his (then) girlfriend Justine Frischmann in it too.

[NoDestinyLive4Now]

Holy shite he has aged quickly.

[luke4djojo]

i couldn't understand anything. my listening skills are poor. :(

[rufiredup90]

I find it cool that he could write his experience about getting high with his then-girlfriend and make it into such an explosive song! Love Blur!
