pair8head i agree with you that a lot goes into the selling of a record and that the artists image goes a long way in helping to sell those records and i also agree that maybe they try to exagerrate to give off an appearance of being "bad' but i also feel that if you look at the lyrics themselv...

desdamona, i dont see any animosity, what is wrong with a friendly debate, i feel that the majority of the posts on this topic have been factual and have not insulted anyone, i have no problem with people disagreeing with me as long as they have facts tob ack it up

i hope this isnt a dumb question because i am younger but who is leon russell ph4ever, what does he play, what type of music?

i would love to have seen ccr, i saw the eagles this past summer and i saw the allman bros a few years ago and i jsut thought that their shows were a little too mellow for me, everyone was sitting down and not really getting into the show

i agree with you, i dont go to concerts high on coke or anything just smokign a joint here and there which i dont see as a big deal

1. Buffett
2. Rolling Stones
3. AC/DC
4. U2
5. Bruce Springsteen

at least through my experiences that how i feel, what are all your opnions

ph4ever i totally agree with you, i feel that they perform even better now that they are clean and sober, i saw the stones live and they were awesome

liph i stand corrected i never knew that actually

look at the three songs i mentioned clapton cocaine james taylor fire and rain the stones brown sugar, none of the three would have never existed if the song writers didnt do drugs

ph4ever i like discussing topics with people and debating, i appreciate otehr points of view and i like to elaborate on my points, there is no need to personally put me down

ph4ever i agree with you on some termsand the point i make may be more opnion than anything but i feel that the albums that those bands (aerosmith, the stones, clapton, david bowie) have put out recently and since they have been sober are not nearly as good or as popular as the ones that they put ou...

i wasnt insulting anyone i was expressing an opinion, at no point did i call out one person, i just said what i thought, and i think that it is somewhat irresponsible to expose kids to that type of environment, now age is a big factor here too, i mean there is a big difference between a 15 year old ...

pair8head if you knew anything about music you would understand wher ei am coming from, if you read direct interviews from some of these artists they say used drugs to help them right music, the beatles used acid to write strawberry fields, listen to the lyircs of some of these songs its all about d...

yeah thats also a good point, most of the shows i have gone to i have been in the lawn area of shows which tend to be a little wilder, i guess it also can vary from concert to concert, i just think i would think long and hard about bring kids to concerts, heck why not leave them at home and join in ...

nice man, it must be exciting, me i dont even know when or where he is gonna be playing in my area (boston)

schoolgirlheart, i would like to disagree with you, look at influential rock music of the past 40 years, the beatles, james brown, led zeppelin, the rolling stones, hendrix. janis joplin, eric clapton, crosby stills nash and young, the doors, aerosmith, bob dylan, the majority of these bands all use...

yeah theres no better family environment than boobs, beer and bongs

i have no problem with drunks as long as they are fun drunks, i cant stand the people who get smashed and just look to start trouble. i am only 22 but i have been to over 25 concerts in my time and i have been drunk for all of them, honestly it may sound dumb but most recording artists record their ...
