Getting out on stage to entertain the masses over and over and over again ain’t as easy as it looks...
If it were easy, everyone would do it. But that won’t stop the flood of piousness on this thread.
Prince’s personal life was pretty difficult: a son that only lived for a few weeks, hip replacement surgery.. Etc. All the while being incredibly prolific. I’m not excusing anything, just saying sometimes is not as black and white as “just a junkie looking for a fix.”
I agree. Performing at concerts at night takes a toll. Plus, playing the same stupid songs endlessly is brutal. I pity Taylor Swift. She feels forced to sing the same stupid pop songs every time. I am friends with the guys in Social Distortion. They feel pain every time they prepare to play “Story of My Life.” Brutal. Pop songs become stupid and boring after 50 plays.
