ITEM OVERVIEW
Elvis Presley, The Hell's Angels, Hunter S. Thompson, Truman Capote, the Beatles, Hank Williams, the Manson Family, Jack Kerouac, Johnny Cash, JFK, Adolf Hitler: All the above were, at one time or another, to put it bluntly, speedfreaks.

Speed-Speed-Speedfreak traces the criminal and cultural use of amphetamine and its unholy growth through each new and destructive cycle. The book is printed in the shape of a Dextroamphetamine capsule. Is it a homage? They think so!
