Actually, I was responding to your statement:


"... a musician who writes a hit song while under the influence of alcohol or drugs..."


Writing music and performing music are two entirely different things. In fact, a lot of great writers are lousy performers. That's why demo studios exist. grin

Also, 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.

If I spend a lot of dough on concert tickets only to watch a drunk stumble through a set, do I feel cheated? Of course. But if that same person feels he can write better behind some weed or booze, who am I to tell him he can't?

I don't buy the sports analogy, because steroids are performance enhancing drugs, while narcotics and booze are detrimental to performing. (Unless you're the Dead, of course) grin
