They NEVER come back as good as they were when they're clean. Drug problems just bring too much inspiration with the damage to the body, mind, and personal relationships to justify any good musician, artist, or writer ever cleaning up.

You've mentioned previously that you are jealous of people with drug addictions. I think you respect him for having had one as much as you respect the things in life he's done since he overcame it.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16245359960166359487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061577.post-25317580570719619242008-02-28T19:02:00.000-05:002008-02-28T19:02:00.000-05:00Actually Gandhi got his start as a civil activist ...Actually Gandhi got his start as a civil activist in South Africa.
