Bill Cosby’s “Talks to Kids About Drugs” album, seen in a new light

Bill Cosby’s 1971 album, Bill Cosby Talks to Kids About Drugs, won a “Best Recording for Children” Grammy Award the following year. Given what we now know about him and drugging women to have sex with them, I see this album in a whole new light.

Anthony Ruttgaizer, who went to high school with me, imagines the Bill Cosby we now know giving advice to kids about drugs, complete with all the vocal Cosby-isms:

“You see, kids… whatcha wanna do is crush up two or three of the ol’ whamma jamma pills and when she’s not looking, you slip’em into her drink, you see. And five minutes later? Time for the flippity-bippity!”

Here’s a track from Bill Cosby Talks to Kids About Drugs. It’s so very 1970s and very Cosby all at once — you might want to turn down the volume on your device before playing it. You’ve probably never heard it before, and in the best pusher tradition: Hey man, the first one’s free!
