the problem is not less drugs, it’s more drugs given to the right people!
Russel Brand thinks heroin would save the music industry.
The British comedy actor claims heavy drug use could help the world avoid the “awful music” teen stars such as Justin Bieber are releasing. Brand – who has overcome heroin addiction and is the patron of a rehab centre in the UK – told Rolling Stone magazine: “The top of the hit parade would look very different if teenyboppers were exposed to heroin.
“It would weed a lot of them out. I don’t think Justin Bieber could handle Syd Barrett from Pink Floyd’s habit.
“A lot of people in their journey to rehab overdose, and then, perhaps, we could be spared their awful music. It’s Darwinian. It’s the law of natural selection.”
Brand also insisted that rock stars who penned top tracks while drugged should be the idols of today, rather than “transient pop stars”. He said, “The music I listen to is mostly by the dead and dying, which is how I want my rock stars: Syd Barrett, Jimi Hendrix and the Doors.”
