Moby on Living Large and Falling Hard




Here's The Thing with Alec Baldwin show

Summary: <p>Moby had already put out four studio albums when <em>Play</em> was released in 1999. He was solidly into his 30s, playing gigs in record stores and thinking about a career-change. But <em>Play</em>, against all expectations, started selling. Then it started selling out. There was champagne, then vodka, then cocaine. He swung between drug-induced euphoria and thoughts of suicide. The stories of stardom he tells Alec are both funny and troubling. But Moby saw his way out of the spiral. Now a decade without drugs or alcohol, he's remarkably open about his darkness, and the weird hippie childhood that laid the groundwork for it. He and Alec sat down last month and swapped stories of sobriety and celebrity. Moby's new memoir is <em>Then It Fell Apart</em>.</p>
