I don't like either one, so let them play with each other, oops, for each other...

EJ is one of the most overrated artists out there, I would not allow him to play at any event of mine, even if he paid me.

He became addicted (not by choice) to a prescription drug (due to back pain and an unsuccessful back surgery) and overcame it. Just like many, many others who have had an addiction with that same drug.

Honestly, I can disagree with someone's politics and still be friends with them.

But the way Rush talks, I think Elton John should not have performed at his wedding. That's a bit much IMO.

Looks like you are showing quite a bit of hate, too.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Rush thought it was ok for Limpbutt to scarf oxys down like M&Ms while demonizing drug addicts.

So, once again going against his beliefs shouldn't be a surprise.

And, as for Elton, a million bucks is a pretty good payday for a few hours work.

Why the hell not.

Rush abused legal prescription drugs. EJ abused alcohol and the illegal drug cocaine. Which is "worse"? Does it even matter? Both appear to be clean now and I applaud both of them for shedding the habit.

What a mountainous load. There are millions of chronic pain sufferers out there who are not addicted to oxy.

I read your post--in its entirety--and until you show me some proof that Rush was "demonizing drug addicts", I'll take that part of your post with a grain of of salt.

My point is that both are apparently clean now and kicking a drug or alcohol habit is not easy, as any former abusers will tell you.
