    Not into drug induced music

    homerovah. . .would you care to provide some evidence that Patti Smiths music is drug induced? Name a few artists that have never done herb or chemicals.

    You come off just as judgemental and narrow minded as your old testament namesake.

    BTW . . it's Patti . . not ~Patty~

    Patti has been well documented as been a heavy drug user ie. heroin

    Most of her most popular music was written during those apparent times

    What you didn't know that ?

    No intension of being narrow minded or either judgmental just stating facts as they are.

    Great music still stands as great music should it be drug induced or otherwise.

    W A Mozart, Paganini and many other classical musicians used drugs.

    I would suggest that a composer is most creative when not drug impaired. His personal habits will not preclude me from enjoying his art

    So . . . . homer, care to name some of your favorite artists?

    I saw Stevie Ray when he was coked out of his mind . . . he still played great music though.

    I saw Clapton finish a show on his back, too drunk to stand . . he still played great music though.

    I watched Steppenwulf doing lines off the tops of their amps during a show . . still played great music though.

    I watched Lynrd Skynrd play a show bombed out of their heads, smoking weed on stage . . still played great music though.

    WTF is your point?

    Creative genius many times brings addictive personalities along with it.

    I stand by my statement about judgemental and narrow minded.

    Being a person who was involved with the rock industry for a few years I saw many performers just like Patti go into a mode of self destruction with

    the use of drugs all in premise of expand their creativity as an artist, maybe its because of that I voice my opinion on performers that have been known to be heavy

    drug users.

    Should my words be discouraging in context ...... I hope so, but thats a topic for an other thread

    I really liked Horses, a great album. A great rock voice too.

    lol, the ads that pop-up here crack me up sometimes:

    Somebody went to the trouble of creating Ted Nugent ringtones? And there's enough demand for said ringtones that it's worth paying Google $x to advertise them? LOLOL

    I don't know about anybody else, but that Google ad has given me the sudden urge to buy a "Snakeskin Cowboys" ringtone right away. Just imagine how much that would really rock to have such a ringtone!!! "Snakeskin cowboys, who the hell you are?..."
