this was shortly after Sir's Elton John and Ian Mckellen cooked bangers and smash along with a garlic soup to nurse me thru a absinthe hangover at a party thrown by Dave Thomas, Salvador Dali, James Elroy and Alice Cooper, it was a stag party except for Betty White, Pat Nixon, Truman Capote and Frida Kahlo, Diego was kissing Trotsky by the icebox all damn evening...

anyway, garlic soup is great for hangovers
