Who needs drugs when you've got music?

Hey Cymbop do you by any chance have a Bebophone?

mmm hmmm. :-)

Without weed or drugs we would not have most of the classic rock or even some classical music we now enjoy and probably most of what is new today.

Really? Is Alice In Wonderland the only novel ever written?

Csontos,
Arthur Conan Doyle who was not only a successful writer, was also physician with access to all RX you can ever imagine. Hence Morphine was his inspirational substance to write storries.
Using recreational drugs is classic for many bohemian talents unfotrunately.
Should we know more writers and composers private lives or should we stop and say that 'there's a fact' and it's been there quite a while.
Speaking of alcohole, this substance is important at any stage no matter stage genre or style of music.

Some notes on drugs and music: The bebop era jazz world was devastated by heroin and I (and pretty much every informed fan) assume a LOT more great music would have been produced without it, with many less dead musicians. I've been a musician since the 60s and can say without hesitation that drugs NEVER helped any serious music along...maybe somebody was inspired by an acid trip or was helped to stay awake by some stimulant, but to say "weed or drugs" played (or plays) an important role in the art itself minimizes the effort it takes to make good music, and is an insult to working musicians. Alcohol and hard drug use by "bohemian" artists and writers might be a fact of life but certainly has never helped the art or writing, except in the imagination of the delusional.
