Pearladay and you're listening to Storyworthy. Worthy.

Welcome to the Story Worthy podcast.

Here are your hosts, Christine Blackburn and Hanna Sfini.

Welcome to Storyworthy. My name is Christine Blackburn, and I'm here with Hanna Sfini, and we are Backstage, Culver City's finest dive bar.

Are you kidding me? We're coming from a dive bar, and we have Pearl a Day here.

It's called The Backstage. Oh, my gosh. And it's been around for 75 years, and her story's called Backstage. So what do you want for me?

Okay, fair enough. I hear what you're saying. And you know what? There's a rock star in my house as we speak on us. And so the fact that her story is called backstage is like so it's so titillating, isn't it? Tittalating. No, but I mean, obviously we want to talk about her music. We want to talk about her life and her talents. Right. But it's rock and roll. We want to hear dirty, dirty stories. That's exactly what I'm talking about. Filty, horrible things that people have done, people, you know, doing cocaine off of a buffet, you know, perhaps messing with a shrimp. I don't know. Whoa. I haven't heard any of those stories at all. Oh, wait. I'm sorry, that was only in comedy clubs when they would pay you in cocaine instead of, instead of, Rick Overton talked about that. Yeah, but that happened a lot. It's like I was, I never did the cocaine because I'm, I'm a big wuss. But every comedy club I went to in the 80s, they'd all have glass and chrome tables, like everybody did. But in between the cracks of all the tables was a fine white powder.

Of powder, right.

Just residual cocaine on all the furniture.

I had a very short cocaine period in my life, two or three years, but I remember this guy.

It was actually a month, but it seemed like.

This guy I did coke with.

He would snort cocaine.

We would snort cocaine off his grandmother's picture. And then I remember thinking like, this isn't that cool after all. Do you know what I mean? Right. That is not a hip way to. Well, it's just sort of depressing when you think about it. And honestly, the way, I'm going way back in time,

but the way I realized that cocaine wasn't really the way to go was because I was a waitress

at the time. And a gram of cocaine was about 120 bucks. And I remember thinking after two nights

of waitressing, Friday and Saturday night, I bought, you know, two grams of cocaine. And then I

remember seeing in the store a VCR at the time, a VCR, and it was $240.

And I said to myself, I could have either worked for that VCR or those two days I didn't

sleep.
