Another way to fight their "hypocrite" argument is to really think about how Rush feels about himself about now. Come on. I'd bet big money that he feels as negatively about himself having gotten messed up like this as he did about Kurt Cobain or anyone else. I am not saying that he SHOULD feel so badly about himself for getting hooked on painkillers. I am just saying that I bet he DOES feel that badly. Therefore, he is not a hypocrite. He would lump himself in with other addicts for whom he hasn't much sympathy.

I agree about the hypocrite argument, but there is a large proportion of substance abusers (I hate that term, but use it to include alcoholics) who hate themselves for it. I know that won't be believed by many on here, but it is heartbreaking to watch people try to recapture their lives from the horrible addictions. And every failure adds to the self-revulsion, no matter how they started, recreationally or not.

Oops, shouldn't have said "but there is a large proportion". Should have said "and there is a large proportion". Sorry. We agree.
