Ludes (aka Sopors) were one of the most popular recreational drugs in the country through the seventies and early eighties -- and for many good reasons. It made you drunk without drinking... no hangover, just the fun ma'am. This song is a very short story of an evening at a “Ludes” party in the late seventies. I saw this small pill marked “714” take its users to the heights of buzzland drunk without the hangover or hours of drinking. One pill swallowed and boom it was like a case of beer in 30 minutes. Panties dropped as the music of The Gods played loud, and the party roared -- sometimes to the level of Armageddon. This was the seventies, this was the party, and this is the story of one such night as the song morphs into an anti-drug ditty. So now prescription pain killers are the big thing. Who's writing songs about Oxycontin parties?
