In the audio clip below photographer Jill Furmanovsky recalls hanging out with Pink Floyd around the time they were making Dark Side of the Moon. Apparently the band were more interested in watching football than taking drugs...
An interesting listen.
Beggars the question of how many of those excess fueled shenanigans from the 1960s and 70s (Led Zeppelin, The Who, Stones etc) are in fact just myths and legends exaggerated and reinforced by time, the tabloid press and our own need for (rock and roll) fantasy.
