Drugs and Rock n’ Roll

There is a reason why people that have done drugs have supposedly produced some of their best music during periods when they have been druggies.  This is not a recommendation to do drugs to get popular, but it is a statement that when someone becomes learned in music it becomes increasingly harder for him or her to communicate to a large audience.  The reason for this is that large audiences often have many folks, if not a majority of folks that are tone deaf and wouldn’t know a good song if they heard one.  Thus, it is such that when one who is under the influence of drugs writes, he or she often falls back onto simple song structures that tone deaf folks cheer for, and write rave reviews for.  The person on drugs is almost certainly incapable of writing a cerebral song, and that is why he or she gains popularity.
