SYNOPSIS: "I want to set the record straight...I didn't kill John Belushi...I want to tell my side of things as honestly as I can, in the hope that someone might learn from my experiences."--Cathy Smith. On March 15, 1983 the Grand Jury of the Superior Court of the State of California indicted a young woman on thirteen counts of furnishing and administering controlled drugs, and one count of second degree murder. The 'victim' was John Belushi. The young woman is Cathy Smith. This is her story. At age 37, Cathy Smith has already lived one life, a life peopled by many of the biggest names in the rock and entertainment world. Chasing the Dragon is a look at life on the inside--her years with Gordon Lightfoot, Levon Helm, Ronnie Hawkins and The Band, Hoyt Axton, Keith Richards--her friendships and experiences with Sly Stallone, Mick Jagger, Jerry Hall, Jack Nicholson, Murray McLauchlan, Charlie Watts, and Ron Wood. From New York to Paris to Hollywood, she met them all--the hustlers, the celebrities, the hangers-on, the addicts. Chasing the Dragon comes from the heart of the fan generation, the generation that has made world heroes of small town musicians. It ends with the real story of John Belushi's tragic last days and Cathy Smith's painful attempts to rebuild her life.
