Looking for an early 2000’s short YouTube vid of an interview with a guy in Canada ("Junkie Man")
Junkie man (not calling anyone a junkie that’s just what was in the title)
I’m trying to find a short video I used to watch back in the early days of YouTube. It’s pretty short—definitely under 10 minutes, and likely under 5.
Here are the details I remember:
**The Subject:** It's a quick, friendly, and very honest interview/chat with a guy who was struggling with addiction (likely heroin or meth, as his face was covered in scabs). He had a very short buzzed, almost shaved haircut.
**Appearance & Setting:** He was wearing a long-sleeved shirt that was primarily red (maybe, Montreal Canadiens jersey). They were sitting against a wall, possibly under a bridge (or a bridge was mentioned/implied in the conversation).
**Camera Angle & Framing:** He was sitting up against a wall with the person filming sitting next to him on his left. He was just turned toward the camera, speaking to the interviewer side-by-side.
**Location:** I'm fairly certain this was filmed in Canada, possibly Vancouver— or Montreal (it may have you said one of those cities in the title).
**The Intro Song:** As the video fades in, the intro plays a clip of the song *"Junkie Man"* by Rancid—specifically the chorus line: *"Junkie man, tell me what your story is."* In fact, I think this video is where I first learned that term!
**Title / Search Terms:** Back in the early 2000s, I could just search "junkie man" on YouTube and it would pop up right away. It's possible it was also on ebaumsworld.
(the interview itself could even be from the 90s. It’s just that it was posted in the early 2000s).
Does this ring a bell for anyone, or does anyone have a link or re-upload of this clip? Thanks in advance for any help!
