"...many hits have been written under the influence of various substances. Cole Porter wrote some of the greatest lyrics ever written - all the while packing his nose with coke."

Which is the basis of my original point. You stated it eloquently.

The question I ponder is why there is no similar discussion to ban musicians or revoke awards when it is determined an award winning song was written while the writer was "enhanced" like it is in sports?

I don't advocate that such an endeavor be started, but I have speculated on the question in the past.
