“Well…I like to think
that a person can make their own decisions.
But if they’re gonna be a waffling pussy
about it, that’s where I step in.

Cathy Smith
Groupie, back-up singer, Canuck.
April 25, 1947 – August 18, 2020.
Aged 73 years.

Most recognized for: This junkie jezebel smoked enough sausage and dealt enough dope in the 70’s & 80’s to be considered a D-list rock star… but it was one night in L.A. that would ultimately define her existence. After administering several speedballs to a needle-phobic John Belushi, she noticed he was “breathing funny” and took off in his Mercedes. Cathy later served 15 months in the can and was deported, but is finally in a place where she truly belongs: the ground.
