The Vitamin of Champions
















During the hard years in Paris, I experimented with all sorts of chemical solutions to my sleep-deprived state of chronic fatigue. Amazingly, the answer was an over-the-counter miracle called Pharmaton with its tidy combination of ‘Vitamines, Mineraux, Ginseng.’ When Sparkle visited me in Marseille and was suffering from a fractured bone leg, I fed her Pharmaton and she became a devotee too. In New York, a veteran of many chemicals tried one of my vitamin pills and asked for another the next night. What further proof do you need? On this trip, I take on of these midnight black horse pills 45 minutes before my gig and then let the warm soothing energy flow through me.
