Brad Nowell took heroin because he thought it would make him a better artist. Guess what...it worked and it also worked for Ray Charles, Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley and many more. I like listening to the music because you can feel some emotion. They aren't just singing to get a paycheck. As long as they get enough money for the heroin I'm sure they don't care. Ray Charles actually beat the addiction. He is the perfect example of the system working. He took heroin for years made great music and then quit. It's like a fairy tail ending. The princess got her prince back.
In my day there was a pretty good chance the band might get too drunk or high to sound right. That's the only reason to go to rock concerts. It wasn't rehearsed and anything could happen. A 90s band would just roll with it. A bottle could fly through the crowd and smack the lead singer with an above average chance he wouldn't notice.
The tragedy with modern day music is that the "artists" will live a long time. All my bands died off because of the drug use. They died legends. Their music will live on forever. The crap that's on the radio now will die off long before the "artists" who made it. Both will die and be forgotten.
I doubt there is any hope for Justin Bieber. I'd like to see someone continually dose him with heroin till he created something with emotion or until his brain melted into jello.
