When Michael McDonald Was “Doing The Dust” In The Doobie Brothers, Pissing His Pants Was NormalI've been an unironic fan of fellow beard-enthusiast Michael McDonald for some time now, but until I read this incredible profile of him in Time Out New York, I had no idea how much depth and dimension the soft rock singer was hiding beneath that velvety smooth singing voice of his. He's remarkably candid on topics ranging from Snoop Dogg & Warren G's cover of his song "Regulate", being parodied on Yacht Rock, and some of the darker times with The Doobie Brothers, when he was smoking the pot and doing the dust. Here's just an excerpt from his harrowing tale:I’m thinking that your tenure in the Doobie Brothers probably wasn’t drug-free. Not exactly, no. Not everybody had the same problems that I had, but there was a few of us who did the dust. Read the rest, after the jump! Did fans almost expect that kind of stuff from you? I don’t want it to sound like I’m bragging about smoking pot, but there was a time when that was a big part of our day. Smoking in the morning was normal. But a lot of things became normal to me. Seizures, pissing my pants, waking up in a hotel room with the New York City police at the foot of my bed became normal. It’s not like I’m proud of it.I always thought that "On My Own" was just a throaty duet with Patti Labelle, but perhaps it was actually a desperate cry for salvation from McDonald's "violent pant-pissing seizures and getting arrested" days with the Brothers Doob?
