Hard to imagine that Sade is 67. For decades, she wooed the world with her mellifluous voice and songs about passion. I suspect many people believed themselves to be madly in love at her behest. How easy it is to float away on the cloud of Kiss of Life! Listening …

David Rudder famously sang in 1996 in The Madman’s Rant: “Somebody clean out the weed real fast. But somebody letting the cocaine pass.” Nevertheless, none of our leaderships were prepared to acknowledge this reality despite periodic reports of “drug busts”, including some massive ones. Despite strong editorials and some courageous …
