yeah, drugs is always romanticized when related to art. But JK Rowlings of Harry Potter fame, was poor when she was a child. She says 'poverty is romantized only by fools" that probably applies to drugs and music as well

But is it really that often romanticized? I hear nothing but sad tales about wasted talent and wasted years. Never heard any musician who survived it (like Anita O'Day) say it improved anything at all about their music, their life, or their experience of either.

She's correct. I grew up in poverty; it sucks.
