Man, heroin addicts make the best music, don't they? Remember Layne Staley from Alice in Chains? Scott Weiland? But there just aren't enough of them out there. I think we need more heroin addicts in music. But how can we get more of them when our society constantly tells people not to try heroin, don't do drugs, it's a dead end, etc...yeah, yeah, yeah, so what? I need good music, dammit!!!
Society should realize that with music, especially rock, heroin is a catalyst. Heroin is a wellspring from which completely bizarre, excellent lyrics and music are born. In the world of music, heroin is good. So I feel that we should legalize heroin for all musicians.
What do you think?
The Beatles were the best with marijuana and LSD. Heroin is good but its effects are short-lived. All recreational drugs sgould be legalized then you can find the best drug for you!
Let's not forget Iggy Pop and, to a lesser, but more extreme extent, G.G. Allin.
Charlie Parker, Stan Getz etc...if only methadone worked as well.
Yes, Iggy! I wouldn't want to forget him. Or Lou Reed.
Oh man, there are so many that I didn't think of.
Kurt Cobain was a heroin guy too, wasn't he?
Miles Davis.
Jane's Addiction.
Dennis Leary on Drugs and Musicians:
And I'll tell you something else right now. I have the solution to the drug problem in this country. Nobody wants to hear it, but I have it. Not less drugs, more drugs. Get more drugs, and give 'em the right ******* people. Mmm mm, cuz every time you hear about some famous guy overdosing on drugs, it's always some really talented guy. It's always like Len Bias, or Janis Joplin, or Jimi Hendrix, or John Belushi. You know what I mean!? The people you wanna have overdose on drugs never would! Like Motley Crue would never ******* overdose man, never! You could put them in a room with two tons of crack. They come out a half an hour later, "Rock on man!" "****, they're still alive. ****! They're probly gonna make another double-live album now, God dammit!"
Leary! My Mannnnnnnnnnnnn!
Just listened to his coffee monologue
I love his "guy with a voice box at a drive thru window" routine from No Cure for Cancer...HILARIOUS.
I see Dennis Leary and I agree on this issue completely.
dont forget the velvet underground
Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark
Clubs and bells, your servant, don't forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
Downy sins of streetlight fancies
Chase the costumes she shall wear
Ermine furs adorn the imperious
Severin, Severin awaits you there
I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears
Kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather
Shiny leather in the dark
Tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
Severin, Severin, speak so slightly
Severin, down on your bended knee
Taste the whip, in love not given lightly
Taste the whip, now plead for me
I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears

Ring my friend I said you'd call Dr. Robert,
Day or night he'll be there anytime at all Dr. Robert.

He helps you to understand,
He does everything he can, Dr. Robert.
If your down he'll pick you up Dr. Robert,
Take a drink from his special cup Dr. Robert
Dr. Robert, he's a man you must believe,
Helping everyone in need,
No one can succeed like Dr. Robert
Well, well, well your feeling fine,
Well, well, well, he'll make you Dr. Robert

I'm a vicarious living type Col Man....intersting factoid, Dr. Robert was originally banned from the Candian and US release of Revolver, along with And Your Bird Can Sing, and heck knows what other song, but Tomorrow Never Knows was included. Go figure.
Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream...
