Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 You got it. And that's probably the reason why certain high up agencies would like to legalise drugs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 I read this morning that George Michael had been battling heroin addiction for years, and that Carrie Fisher had been indulging in various types of substance abuse for many years also. Maybe our sympathies are unfounded at times, regarding people who constantly engage in dangerous and unlawful practices, and then pay the ultimate price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 I know what you mean FLY, but it's not easy to find musical greats that haven't battled drink or drugs at some time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 I know TBI. Its most likely the drink and drugs have enhanced what would probably have been mediocre careers in a lot of cases. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Yes, Fly, probably right. Interestingly it's not just a modern phenomenon. Quite a few classical composers were well into drugs and drink. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Also film 'stars' of the 20's to the 50's, and we all thought of them as squeaky clean. It's just that a bit of scandal is blown up out of all proportion these days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,424 Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 We were talking on another thread about composers who seemed to have some other force dictate the music to them. Perhaps drink and drugs increase that effect. Then you are hooked. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
