He always seemed to have a bit too much schtick going on. So I'm not inclined to feel on way or the other about this as far as most of this goes.\r\n\r\nBut. I do think that this is a case of &quot;watch what you preach or it might bite you in the ass some day&quot;. All his anti-drug and pro-drug war talk, trying to paint the problem as a moral issue can only be described as hypocritical. There's really no way for him to get around that. Not because he was strung out but because, if true, he was copping on the street. \r\n\r\nI spent (wasted) alot of years strung out myself and I would have gladly copped oxy if it was available like it was for Rush. No different.\r\n\r\nAll that said, I also understand the common defense mechanism of loudly preaching a disdain for the very thing that has ahold of you in an effort to hide it's grip from those around you. It never works but junkies always try it.\r\n\r\nAnyway, things will go on. He'll have to struggle to get his credibility back (or at least he should). But first he has to get sober and that is not the easiest thing to do.\r\n\r\nI suspect he has a couple Clonidine patches on right now and a belly full of Robaxin and Librium.\r\n\r\nLastly, the war on drugs is fruitless. Obviously drugs need to be legalized, but that is a whole 'nother thread I suspect.","author":"fresca","parent_id":88400,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-10-13 14:04:16","modified":"2003-10-13 14:04:16","fileurl":""}]}
