This does not effect my argument. I am not saying thes people were
trashed when creating, I am saying that at some point they took drugs to
alter their perceptions and henceforth all actions afterwards. Had they
never done so, most art would not even exist. And to name ten artists
who created while trashed, All I need here is three bands, only two if I
can use the Gratefull Dead. Just turn the radio on. As I am a musicial
and spend a great deal of time in the studio, almost every time I have
been there, the people I have seen were on or doing some drug. Drugs are
inseperable for music at least.
