I have read so many stories of great musicians reaching creative levels through psychadelic drugs. Im actually reading the biography of Jim Morrison just now, its pretty mental, he used to take acid and ring the band as he was coming up and demand to rehearse with them. Fuck, even the meaing of the band name The Doors is about drugs (the doors of perception)

I pretty much agree with this absolutely.


bumperbrew has some good points though. I mean, lots of artists have died as a result of their indulgences. What's worth more? The art or the artists life?

And weak shit? Whatevs guys. It's a massive list and that's the top, and I stand by it because I like the songs lol!!

Go home tonight and take all of your records, tapes and all your CD's and burn them.

"I took drugs.. I gotta admit I got real fuckin' high... Didn't mug anybody, didn't kill anybody, didn't rape anybody, didn't screw with anybody, didn't lose one fucking job... and I laughed my ass off all the time..."

That's pretty much the jist of another of his routines and it's fucking ace. That and talking about ordering a pizza in London and it "tasting like a garbage can lid"
