There's so much talk about the drug generation and songs about drugs. That's stupid. They aren't songs about drugs; they're about life.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Drugs have nothing to do with the creation of music. In fact, they are dumb and self indulgent. Kind of like sucking your thumb!
Everyone reaches their point in time where either they die or they get sick of doing drugs. It started getting debilitating. I enjoy my music a lot better than my drugs.
It's not just songs and glamour. It's sweat, blood, broken toes, and mistakes... It's life.
Nobody ever thinks a song is about them. Well, not when it's mean. When it's a good song everybody thinks it's about them. And when it's mean, nobody thinks it's about them.
Drugs are in every walk of life - doctors, lawyers, preachers, the guy who works for IBM, teenagers on the street, teenagers in school.
I think it's too bad that everybody's decided to turn on drugs, I don't think drugs are the problem. Crime is the problem. Cops are the problem. Money's the problem. But drugs are just drugs.
Nothing is more singular about this generation than its addiction to music.
It's not just about getting a song on the radio or appearing on television. It really is about helping people change their lives one day at a time.
If you're interested in how people behave, if you're interested in the way they talk about themselves, the way the conceive of themselves, it's very hard to ignore drugs nowadays, because that is so much part of the conversation.
It's just that a lot of songs that are popular right now, they don't have any meaning.
