I grew up in the Heavy Metal eighties. All the kids smoked pot.
But I never did anything harder. I very seldom drink even today.
When I was a kid, we had a bonfire keg party in the woods...
My friends had to wheel me home in a wheelbarrel. I never forgot it.
The hangover smelt like puke and stale beer. The room spun around.
I liked to party, go to rock concerts, ride bikes and later, drive cars.
Back then, we were always out getting stoned but I handled it well.
I didn't start trouble. The eighties were a lot of fun.
I was wasted all the time and still got straight A's in High School.
I had long hair, a biker leather jacket and ripped faded jeans.
Now, I'm bald. Lol!

I agree about Bobby Brown. Whitney should have never married him. That marriage started a downhill spiral for her. I think she should have married Arsenio Hall.

Well I guess you were lucky that you didn't get hooked but what if you had? You were doing the same things that these celebrities were doing and it could have gone badly wrong. All people are human and subject to fall. It doesn't matter if they are rich or not. Money can not buy love, happiness or even mortality. Celebrities are no more than common people who had problems, became successful and had to share it in public instead in private. No one has the right to judge them or feel superior because you didn't die strung out or addicted. You should be thankful everyday that you didn't.
No one knows for sure what the cause of Whitney's death will be, but the first conclusion is drugs. It could be something else. Even if it is, you can't be quick to put anyone down. People need love and I know all people don't have love inside of them to understand that. Until the final day that we are gone from this earth, we don't know from day to day what will be the catastrophe or the trial that will hit you so hard that you from grace.

It sounds like once you were older you straightened up you didn't do that stuff anymore. That's good.

It's should be obvious that being a famous performers is a fun ride for a few years but if you set lofty standards for yourself (Like how Michael Jackson was supposed to be the greatest dancing sensation in the world) the day will come when you won't be able to wow everyone the way you used to. I was watching Whitney Houston trying to sing in 2010 and it's clear that her best days were behind her. It's a shame that too many former superstars can't gracefully go into retirement. I guess like MJ, she figured if she can't be a sensation, she might as well self destruct.

Much like the Rolling Stones & Aerosmith, Right?
Those guys have been partying and doing drugs their whole lives.
Care to pass judgment on them?

Willie Nelson is a pothead.
He's an old man and still kicking around, isn't he?
I've never heard of anyone dying from strictly smoking marijuana.

I've done drugs, gambled and had enough women.
And I've never lost control.
I don't believe that I have the right to tell others how to live.
I've done everything I've wanted to do but did it without hurting others.
I'm a lucky man.

Bob Marley died from cancer in his toe as the result of a soccer accident. It never healed properly and became cancerous.
Why is it always about black people here?
Why not start a thread about Kurt Colbain?
Why not Freddie Mercury?
Why not Marilyn Monroe?
Why not Wendy-O-Williams?
Why not Elvis Presley?
You don't need to tell me why.
I know the answer.
