She was so strung up on drugs and alcohol that she had to cancel her last concert because she was slurring and wobbling all over he place. I wouldn't give her a dime to see her sing. And she comes out with a song called rehab and she is a hero. She glorified the fact that she wouldn't go into rehab.
Sorry I don't feel bad at all. I do feel bad about the fact that it is just such a waste. |

Just like Anna Nicole Smith. I mean really was anyone really surprised that she died of a drug overdose?? Not me!!
These people made a choice to take drugs and they paid the price. I don't feel bad at all. |
There have been many very talented people in history who have gone far too young due to addictions, mental illness, etc. Van Gogh for example. Drunk on absinthe all the time. Jackson Pollock. Even Kevyn Aucoin the makeup artist died from Tylenol poisoning. Actually a lot of true artists/musicians I often times think they must have been high to come up with something that magical. But some people have real demons that they can't deal with, and they look for something to help. Some go to the doctor, some self medicate. While unfortunately some self medication can usually lead to self destruction. But there are some drugs that are legal and some are not, and we all know even the legal ones are dangerous.
Have you ever taken drugs? Have you ever been in such a mental state that you felt this was the only way? If not then I am very happy for you, but for many people, including myself, at the time, it feels like there is no other choice. Unless you have been there, you do not know. That place is very dark, scary, and lonely. Just like someone who has an eating disorder, it is something that you live with and deal with for the rest of your life.
If you truly didn't care why did you even bother to post in this thread? I read tons of threads on YT and other forums all the time that I don't feel I have anything substantial to add, so I skip it. I don't go posting "ah I don't care about this subject".
