Ya gotta wonder, would Janis Joplin REALLY have gone onto great things if she hadn't crawled into that bottle of Southern Comfort? Would Kurt Cobain actually have gone onto write better and bigger records? Or would he have ended up like Gibby Haynes, living in Red Hook, bumbling around the streets with his dog mumbling to himself about glory days gone by, sober?

Can a rockstar be clean and be a rockstar? And did they peak early on regardless of their vices? Now theres a REAL opinion question for you dear reader. I'm not so sure.

While the drop and the drug will sap some of their creative spark, some thrive upon them and can't create without. Guess we'll never know, because they're dead, and we're still here, wondering.

Ehh, sorry for the bummer, just typing out loud...

LAST NIGHTS WINNERS WERE:

THE CHERRY FLAVOURED SCHMOOS, SWEPT THE NIGHT.

Apologies to The Unholy Trinity, who have been kicking ass for the last couple of weeks.

Thursday night, The Jones Street Boys and Goes Cube will appear at Union Hall in Park Slope and it's going to rock like the proverbial hurricane and you should go!
