Sex, Drugs, and Rock 'n' Roll

The history of rock and roll is littered with the bodies of those plagued by drug addiction. Elvis, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin,Blind Melon's Shannon Hoon. So much so, in fact, that few of us even blinked when the amazingly talented British singer Amy Winehouse landed in a London hospital after overdosing last week. So unfortunate. Instead of adding to their creativity, drug use is robbing us of their music. If these incredible musicians have been able to put out the quality of work we've seen while using drugs, just imagine what could be with a clear head. When will the industry learn not to coddle the drug users? Sex and rock 'n' roll? Sure - bring it on. But drugs? Forget about it.
