Just saying that drug use doesn't necessarily correlate with musical ability. (Ted being a musician)

There was this little band from Liverpool that was very open about their marijuana and heavy LSD use. Wrote songs about it. Even sold a few records.

Unfortunately, drug use does correlate with death. Just imagine what Jimi would have been able to do if he had Ted's view of drugs. We'd be discussing how great his latest record is instead of his tragic early death 37 years ago.

Yeah I seem to remember that band from Liverpool...name escapes me...right at the tip of my tongue...wait a minute....

I can't recall at the moment, but I think it starts with a 'B'... Come on Freepers, help us out!

No proof, but I have a suspicion, members of the 'Rolling Stones' may have used drugs at some point.

LOL!
Ted's music promoting drug use made him famous. Now he claims he never did drugs?
Then again, maybe Ted doesn't believe LSD is a drug.

Leave your cares behind
Come with us and find
The pleasures of a journey to the center of the mind

Come along if you care
Come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land inside of your mind

Beyond the seas of thought
Beyond the realm of what
Across the streams of hopes and dreams where things are really not

But please realize
You'll probably be surprised
For it's the land unknown to man
Where fantasy is fact
So if you can, please understand
You might not come back

How happy life could be
If all of mankind
Would take the time to journey to the center of the mind
Would take the time to journey to the center of the mind
Center of the mind
the mind, the mind
.

Maybe, or we could be mourning the serious downturn in the quality of his output. How many artists still going from that era are still putting out high quality work? Dylan? Even his is merely better than much of what else is out there today rather than equal to his records from those days.

Sometimes death has kept the artists from tarnishing their own record. How much different would the opinion of Zeppelin be if they had been touring and putting out records for the last 27 years? They were already headed way downhill.
