Hello enabler, your attitude worked so well with performers like Amy Winehouse and many others who got hooked on hard drugs, booze, and hard living. I'm 43 so I don't plan on buying any of this kid's stuff. But I don't want him to become another member of the famous 27 club. That's a club of hard living celebrities who kicked the bucket at 27 years old. Makes me wonder if they met the devil at the crossroads and the contract, and their life, expires when they become 27.

"I don't live my life with regrets. I don't dwell on anything. It happened; it must've happened for a reason. ...I think it's something that I moved past and I'm hoping everyone else that I come across will move past it sure."

And instead of 200 hours of community service, he did 230.

And Im sorry, but you think this is garbage???

Because of course he won a Grammy and is number one on Billboard just because. Thats right.

Saliordave I am sure if you listed all the music and movies etc you have the majority of the artists have either used or are using drugs or died from a over dose........ and there are a lot more that we don't even know about


I had this discussion with a Elvis fan who told me he does not support Musicians who do drugs....... I asked about ELivs he said oh thats different the doctors prescribed the Rx's lol

Grammy has questionable taste. They once gave Jethro Tull an award for heavy metal band over Metallica. Jethro Tull is a band in which the lead singer plays the flute. Back in the 80s or 90s, Paula Abdul also got Grammies. Not saying he isn't talented, just don't use a Grammy as proof of his music quality.

I had never heard that story. Just read about it! Hysterical!

Jethro Tull Out-rocks Metallica - Top 10 Grammy Moments - TIME

Quote:
Fans (and even some audience members) were rightly outraged, though Tull's record label tried to make light of the faux pas by placing a Billboard ad that read, "The flute is a heavy, metal instrument." When Metallica later won a Grammy for 1991's Metallica, they thanked Jethro Tull for not release a competing album.
But when I think more about it, a song like Aqualung does have a hard rock component to it, so they weren't totally off base. The award was for hard rock / metal.
