Not If You Were The Last Junkie On Earth
by -
October 10, 1997
The Dandy Warhols had it with heroin chic? This clip sets out to sink the phenomenon by presenting it as cliché. To accompany a song declaring “heroin is so passé,” director David LaChapelle sets the junkie’s world in the corniest setting possible: an ‘80s game show. Behind Door No. 1, a Carol Merrill type presents a guy vomiting. Behind No. 3 we get gravestones. Elsewhere you’ll find dancing needles plus overhead shots of gurneys twirling around like something from a Busby Berkeley extravaganza. Nihilism never looked so Neanderthal.
