Yeah Flex. Linda Blair was in the book. Shannon Tweed also. Catherine Bauch is in the book a lot . She was the only one who didn't do drugs in the book. Some chick who was on General Hospital name Robyn Bernard had a one night stand with Rick after seeing eachother in a intersection on sunset blvd.

It's hard to know for sure that Ms. Shue personally snorted cocaine herself when she was with Rick. It's up to Lisa to confirm or deny that she personally did cocaine. However, Mr. James definitely had a drug problem. An episode of
Behind the Music Remastered
basically said that Ms. Blair had stopped doing drugs some years before she got involved with Rick. -

He was talking about Elisabeth snorting coke. From reading the whole book he didn't even like to snort coke. Free basing was his thing. Of all the names he mentioned in the book if they didn't do drugs he specifically mentioned it. Eddie Murphy and Catherine Bauch were mentioned as not doing drugs. There are several pics of Rick James and Linda Blair in the book and other private pics of him and several actresses of that time including Lisa Shue.

If Ms. Shue did indeed snort cocaine, it doesn't mean she became addicted to it.
It's my understanding that Rick dropped names left and right in his memoir. Why did he feel the need to do that? BTW, a teacher I had in high school met Mr. James in person, like, three times. (They were basically both from Buffalo, New York.) I can't say the encounters were pleasant. -

I agree. I don't think she was an addict. Likely a recreational user like most of the people from that era. From what I understand Rick wrote most of the book while in prison. Maybe he was bitter with the name dropping. The guy had a rough life. A heroin addict as a teen, was in the music business nearly 20 years before he had any kind of success or even a record deal, and was nearly a victim of the Manson Murders at Sharon Tates house.(Jay Sebring stop by to pick up Rick James the night of the murders but James was sick and stayed home)
