Who needs drugs when you've got music?

Does your stereo do this to you very often?

This is the only test of great stereo!

"Really? Is Alice In Wonderland the only novel ever written?"
That was fiction?
Wolf_garcia,

Probably best not to mention the lame parody. The parody is a parody because that image became over used and filtered down to the average. Lame is lame of course.

But musicians with vision and skills are a very different thing. The guys that learned their chops and put life experience into their performance is what I suspect left their mark on us. Not the navel gazers...

Sure the word "drugs" covers too many things. Acid, speed, coke, pot, ecstasy, and so on all effected the various specific musical movements of their time. It's a paradigm shift from what went before.

We could probably draw a simplistic table or flow chart. I.e

Ecstasy = Dance music

Speed = Punk etc etc.
Not sure what that apology was for but Wolf, it seems you're our case study here. You've confirmed the inefficacy of drugs or "herbs" as pertains to the inspiration of art or at the very least music. So what is the loss you claim when attempting to benefit from an otherwise useless experience? Just curious.
"So what is the loss you claim when attempting to benefit from an otherwise useless experience?"...mostly vitamin B.
Wolf_garcia, lol. Obviously you forgot to mention short and medium term memory loss too!
