Spoiler II wrote:Not to derail the thread too much but i always find it amusing that many metal and punk bands that were around in my youth who were considered morally reprehensible, satanic garbage and poor role models (bands like IRON MAIDEN or MOTORHEAD for example) are still touring and inspiring new audiences while some of the most safe and goody goody pop acts of the 80's (like Houston and Michael Jackson) are dead and not just dead but dead of DRUG OVERDOSES! We live in a world where Lemmy and Iggy Pop have outlived Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson. These are truly bizarre times we live in,my friends.Kids,don't listen to your parents and the media about who is a good role model based on what sort of material they are putting out.-------------------------------Good point. Although, drugs aside, what sort of role model was Michael Jackson? Or Elvis?Your point also reminds me of the plot of MARLOWE in which a "family" actress is being blackmailed for having an affair with a gangster. As one character puts it, "America's sweetheart shacking up with public enemy number one."If I remember correctly, a popular female singer back in the fifties did have a publicized affair with a gangster.

There's no need to buy crack from a pimp on 42nd street when you can get a better high legally from your doctor. Lohan, Hilton and countless others have been walking a tightrope for ages but they move on while those doctor friendly folks are dropping over.

(she supposedly died of alcohol poisening, but her heroin addiction was a major contributing factor. It was reported that she bought a half-ounce each of crack cocaine and heroin, totaling £1,200, the night before she died).Mike Starr, from rock group Alice In Chains, took anti-anxiety medication, methadone and probably more before his recent death. He was a long-time addict.Former Weezer bassist Mikey Welsh died from a suspected drug overdose in a Chicago hotel room.
