I'm not dissapointed when I heard artists I like do drugs because they are role models, and I could really careless what they do outside of the studio. The thing is, however, I feel that when some given artist needs to get baked in order to do something creative, that they are dissapointing me. Its like I think that they are some truly gifted creative person, and then you find out its all the herb. Think of it this way. Say you took some weird ass modern art painting; it may look strange, and even simple to make, but people respect it because there's some meaning to it. However, what if you learned that the artist simply threw paint at the canvas. That would be dissapointing. Weather you like the painting or not, the process in which it was made, does matter. I guess, if you're gonna go and take your admiration of a given artist to the point of calling them a genius, they should be able to create their art with out being on the drugs. So, I think I know whats meek is talking about, but I desagree with the part about them being role models. You gotta do your own thing. Think of it like this, if you didn't have a job and all you did in your life was make and play music, the that lifestyle is fine, but if you're going to school and trying to grow up, its not.
