By the time you blink, you are literally dosing 5-6 different drugs at the same time just to function because the road is just that brutal and we are not even at the recreational variety yet or alcohol. It really is no wonder why a lot of musician’s lives are cut short because of chemical dependency or abuse.
It’s a tragic loss that didn’t need to happen.
Thanks for the interesting perspective. From the outside looking in It's always mystified me why people so rich, famous and talented, who could literally do anything, would turn to drugs. It like "Hmm.....I could go bang some groupies, or take my Porsche out for a drive, or go take a week long vacation tk Hawaii.....nah lets snort some coke!"
