Description

The things that happen in Nashville are odd. The city's filled with perhaps 1000s of wannabe musicians and the very lucky voices behind your favorite radio jams. This creates a bubble of buzzing culture and newly rich musical stars. Luxury cars...designer shoes... And a cocaine bear makes up the collections of your favorite stars. This is the story of a 175-pound black bear who ended up as a collection piece for a Nashville icon after ingesting and overdosing on 75 pounds of pure cocaine.
