Fuck the smack, his doctor was using an IV to inject him with a powerful anesthia drug....that is straight fucked up.
the cited articled states that the heroin was tested and came back negative... perhaps it was hash? or something like that
Sad because he apparently had such bad insomnia that he was virtually "immune" to most normal medications, and even some of the heavy duty ones. Honostly, I can't imagine how horrible having insomnia like that must have been, really sad to how he died for trying to get some sleep.
Exactly! Has there ever even been a good musician or band that made awesome music WITHOUT at least the occasional toke? EVERY musician I know personally smokes weed, most of them every day.
Cat was addicted to painkillers for nearly 25 years, the best he could get and whenever he wanted it; truly was a physical phenom - most people don't last one summer with a pill addiction before they bite it.
At least you are capable of playing music, which is an awesome talent, more than I can say for myself.
Well I'm not that good. I play a few instruments, guitar, bass and drums. Im meh at guitar, I can only play some pretty basic basslines, but im ok at drums. I've never had the time or the drive to get really good, sadly. I'm hoping to change that in the near future though. It's not too hard to pick up an instrument, but to get really good you have to have time to practice and a genuine love of music. I only have one of those criteria though, sadly...
