WyoWoman,

I disagree that adults have the "right" to be drunk and/or under the influence of drugs "if and when they want to, by what means they wish" so long as nobody gets hurt.

In the real working world, that just doesn't fly, and if you show up for work drunk or under the influence, you get fired. As it should be. There is time for work, and time for play. Anyone who can't appreciate the difference between the two likely has the maturity level of adolescent "rebels" with a need for attention, IMO. And many musicians, in my experience, sadly and pathetically fit that description all too well.

If only they knew how pathetic they look and sound, and how little they are admired by the music lovers (as opposed to diehard fans) in their audiences.
