Sex and Drugs and Rock n’ Roll…
“Sex and Drugs and Rock n’ Roll” was a song by Ian Dury that was released back in the late 70’s. Somehow the phrase has made its way into our everyday lives. You’ll hear the phrase now and again when people refer to the music industry – and they don’t have to be talking about rock n’ roll either. Sex and drugs seems to have become the way of life for many musicians.
I recently watched the movie, Walk the Line, the story of the romance between Johnny Cash and June Carter. It was a great film and won many awards including a Grammy, Academy Award, and Golden Globe. Cash turned to drugs to cope with the demanding lifestyle of a traveling musician. It’s too bad there aren’t more people in the industry who will say, “Hey, eat this healthy food to get more energy…” instead of recommending some pill or drug to make you feel better.
It’s also sad that we had to lose some of the great artists of all time to drugs – like Elvis Presley, for instance. Some will deny that he passed away because of drugs, but you have to wonder if the heart attack he had was due to the fact that he abused drugs.
Well, let’s just give thanks for drug rehab Malibu style where people can go to get help.
