Yes musicians are probably subjected to more chances to take up 'detrimental lifestyle choices' but at the end of the day like anyone else they choose to either have that next drink or take drugs. There are many examples of sucessful musicians who havn't felt it necessary to overindulge.
It annoys me that some 'musicians' think the title gives them the right to live such a life, they're just pandering to a negative stereotype and creating a very bad image to their younger fans.....
Failed in my attempt to avoid a rant but it tees me off that after every gig I do I get offered copious amounts of alcohol and...other...substances because thats what expected of me.....and I'm hardly a major musician, I feel sorry for those who are as the pressure is probably much more intense....
Sorry guys.....rant over....
Don't apologise for having a rant, Pip. I think we need more ranting on MD !!
If you have any others up your sleeve, let 'em out girl !!
