Maybe you should dig a little deeper.... Mike Spampinato posted this to MoPo several hours ago. Thanks, Mike.
This is a link to the Oliver Stone tabbing his father's scoth interview: http://books.google.com/books?id=l7LV1H8JCKEC&pg=PT192&lpg=PT192&dq=oliver+stone+spiked+his+father%27s+lsd&source=bl&ots=Q6sI7HXCcT&sig=GQ81NBTY9Uv-VP--Dqm3Nmb-CfY&hl=en&ei=EQVSTJSDG4L7lweP2ZGPBg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CBoQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=oliver%20stone%20spiked%20his%20father%27s%20lsd&f=false It is from the book "The Art of the Interview: Lessons from a Master of the Craft" by Lawrence Grobel --- May the holes in your collection be filled and the ideas in your head be shared. --- On Thu, 7/29/10, James Richard <[email protected]> wrote: From: James Richard <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [MOPO] Hitler... there was a painter!

Had you included some kind of reference for the story (which you yourself were very vague on the details about) -- my thoughts about little old ladies passing *idle, unsubstantiated* gossip over the backyard fence would never have been made it into print :) However, as far as I can discover, the link you provide doesn't actually substantiate that Stone said anything about either dosing or wanting to does his father's wine. It's just a comment about the same vague story made by someone one else. I've actually spent a bit of time searching the web myself on this and can't find anything like an substantive source indicating Stone said any such thing, so we're right back to my original comment re: idle, unsubstantiated gossip. The story (at least as you've relayed it so far and from what I have not been able to discover about it) sounds like one of those off-the-cuff joking remarks some celebrity makes (possibly while rapping with Bill Maher) which then gets picked up and passed around on the internet and ends up taking on a completely different context and/or set of details from the original statement. Even if Stone is a film director, I think we may have slipped a little ways into OT Land here... -- JR Brude wrote: So sorry. It was his father's wine, not coffee. http://digg.com/movies/Oliver_Stone_and_the_importance_of_taking_drugs I wish I could dig up the whole story for you. No need to apologize for "the little old lady with nothing else to do" remark. You are just not informed.

He could paint an entire apartment in ONE afternoon... TWO COATS! To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, July 29, 2010, 5:23 PM I never heard that. Seems like heavy-duty rumor mongering on to me. I mean, exactly what is the story you are trying to tell us: 1) Oliver Stone *did* dose his dad's coffee 2) Oliver Stone said he once thought about dosing his dad's coffee and was a) joking, or b) serious, but far too sensible/responsible to actually do it So just what is the story you're offering here? How about you find some kind of citation backing up something this vague before passing it over the backyard fence like some little old lady with nothing else to do? -- JR Brude wrote: Isn't Stone the same jerk who claimed he dosed (or wanted to dose) his father's coffee with a tab of acid to see what happened? Once a jerk, always a jerk. --- On Wed, 7/28/10, Bruce Hershenson <[email protected]> wrote: From: Bruce Hershenson <[email protected]> Subject: [MOPO] Hitler... there was a painter!

If so, he is going about it the right way.
