On this Dopey Wednesday!

We get super spiritual about fear, gratitude and love! We read spotify comments which were super sweet. And then we dive deep with legendary actor and recovering addict Ned Van Zandt. Ned takes us from snorting heroin with Andy Warhol superstars in 1978, to living at the Chelsea Hotel the exact week Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen moved in, to fronting Sid heroin and eating at Burger King with him the day after Nancy’s murder. He shares his belief about who really killed Nancy, his years shooting heroin and meth, multiple relapses, jail, and finally finding lasting recovery.

Ned also talks about being Townes Van Zandt’s cousin, his acclaimed one-man show “Lost in Delle Valley” and now running the Upper West Side sober living house Transcend NYC.

All this and MUCH MORE on The Wednesday Dose!
