Bob Dylan musician takes drugs shock

Bob Dylan was a heroin addict.

The rocker made the revelation in a previously unheard interview with his music critic pal Robert Shelton.

Dylan who turns 70 tomorrow says he was a junkie in his early twenties, in tapes recorded in 1966.

“I kicked a heroin habit in New York City,” Dylan said.

“I got very, very strung out for a while. I mean really, very strung out. And I kicked the habit.

“I had about a $25-a-day habit and I kicked it.

“Death to me is nothing. Death to me means nothing as long as I can die fast.

“Many times I’ve known I could have been able to die fast, and I could have easily gone over and done it. I’ll admit to having this suicidal thing, but I came through this time.

“I’m not the kind of cat that’s going to cut off an ear if I can’t do something. I’m the kind of cat that would just commit suicide.
“I’d shoot myself in the brain if things got bad. I’d jump from a window.”
