Junkies getting off Heroin like Vike because it's the same thing. Vicodin is a serious-deal painkiller that is the next, stronger steup up from Percs. Hence to score Vike, they have to be fronting that they are in some serious pain, the king of all serious pains being a tailbone injury. The thing with a broken tailbone is there's nothing you can do. They won't even bother with an X-ray because the diagnosis won't change. When Dr. Prescribeaway flips out the pad, junkies and anyone else that wants to write good songs fake the pain really hard until the Vicodin arrives. All they need to hear: it doesn't matter if the tailbone is broken or not because there is no cast for your ass. Being carried in by friends helps, as does moaning.
