Drug use and music

So I'm sitting in my office listening to some undeniably awesome bands, The Doors, The Who, The Rolling Stones, and even some that don't start with The. As I was listening i could't help but wonder what has happened to music? How did we go from Jimi Hendrix to the Jonas Brothers? How come the new girl singers are less concerned with sounding like janis joplin, than matching Britney in pantyless pics. I mean have we as a society really decided that we enjoy the vocal styling of James Blunt? How does music even go from the badassness of CCR to the wuss fest that is Matchbox 20?

Well after careful consideration I've come to one conclusion. Drugs. Drugs drugs and more drugs. The old guys did them, heck Keith Richards is only alive cause he has too much cocaine in his system for his heart to stop. The new singers, not as much. I mean it was an understood fact that Jim Morrison was going to be high drunk or something even cooler when he was on stage, the lead singer of the PussyCat Dolls, not so much. Now I'm not condoning drug use, i myself am not a partaker, all I'm saying is if you are going to have a drug problem, pick up a guitar. Kurt Cobain was nice enough to do that and I think that worked out for all of us.

That's why the only good music out today is Rap music. Those guys have the market cornered on weed, and thus the market cornered on good music. I think a non high Kanye West is Carlton from the Fresh Prince. Why do you think Snoop Dogg starts smoking again every time he hits the studio?

If you're slow to see the truth here I offer one undeniable example as proof. Ladies and Gentleman Aerosmith! Aerosmith use to melt faces, Steven Tyler use to work the stage like he was doing warm ups for the orgy that awaited him backstage. Then they came out and said we're off drugs we've cleaned up as a group. And then they released that song from armageddon, and then that pink song. Ladies in gentleman I rest my case.
