 Topic: 70's drug free artists???

THE SAINTS
data contained in microdot and I got sunshine in my stomach
the big A is headed our way!
-----------------
or had we learned from Lennon and Jagger it was best to keep things tidy roundabout?
like the hippies and the wives on the days of our lives, I dont think so!

Are you sure about Peter Gabriel? He seems the perfect sort to take drugs to me! Bryan, I'll try and repost the images, hold on. 
 Hopefully that'll work.

I think that was me, and no, still no pictures. Your avatar isn't coming in either. Are you posting from your PC? They have to be on the web in order to appear.

I'm sure about Peter Gabriel, the guy accepted he once ate a hash brownie that someone left at his house and he appeared a long distance away not knowing how in hell he had reached there with his heart beating above 150 per minute and feeling he was dying. He was so scared that he stuck to what he described as his own demons. Later he accepted he is bipolar and if he would had taken drugs the effect would have been devastating.
But not only on his words, Phil Collins (Who was photographed with Steve Hackett lighting funny cigars backstage) said that Peter didn't even drinked alcohol, that just smelling a beer caused him to be out of control.
If I'm not wrong, VDGG members who toured with Genesis when working with Charisma said something like that when they were getting high in the back of the bus, Peter was in the front row reading books and I believe they also mentioned something about Tony Banks sleeping or working in his music.

The full story is that during the Six Bobs Tours (referring to the price of admittance) is that Genesis were at the front of the bus reding books, doing crossword puzzles , while Lindisfarne were getting drunk in the middle of the bus (cannot escape those Newcastle roots) and VdGG sat art the back smoking dope , readind and meddling with the other two groups.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

You've just had a heavy session of electroshock therapy, and you're more relaxed than you've been in weeks.

I remember Lennon talking about how he never did acid.
anyway if you ever listened to the Lamb on acid or after a few experiences you would know the answer, but I guess thats why they call it hidden knowledge. 
not recommending it, but millions already know the truth.

I know your theory about Gabriel being a liar, but lets remember just one thing, Lennon and Gabriel are two different persons, the behaviour of Lennon outside the stage was completely different to Gabriel's behaviour, the guy is respected and considered a genttleman.
If you read the memories of The Turtles you'll find that Lennon was always a jerk outside the stage and don't use the excuse of the age because Peter started in school at the age of 16 or 17.
You may believe Gabriel l9ied, but why in hell did Steve Hackett, Phil Collins (Who publicly smoked dope) and the whole VDGG had to lie, why a musician in Peter Gabriel's band (Can't remember his name) said he liked to hang out with Peter Gabriel and Steve Winwood, and he got high with Steve but Peter didn'¿t even got close tro the drugs.
Is this a conspiracy to canonize Peter Gabriel? Don't you believe there's a chance all that people is saying the truth and you are wrong?
anyway if you ever listened to the Lamb on acid or after a few experiences you would know the answer, but I guess thats why they call it hidden knowledge.
Peter once said that he was tempted to use acid to enhance his mind but he was just to scared to try it, why does a man who doesn't loose a thing has to lie?
BTW: Your whole argument is an analysis of the lyrics of The Lamb (Not even a proffesional shrink could do this accurately), have you ever considered that The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is based in a book called The Trial by Franz Kafka?
The images are similar, the hallucinations are clearly inspired in Kafka, a guy who can write lyrics about anything (History, bothanics, Sci Fi, Mythology, Violence, Wars, Politics, Paedophilia, Religion, etc) can write about whatever he wants?
The guy is bipolar, he has been working with Institutions to help bipolar people, I talked with a shrink (A real one) about this and he told me that the effects of acid in bipolar persons would be devastating, he even said that probably Syd Barrett was bipolar and the use of drugs turned a simple bipolar case (That can be treated) into a severe case of Schizophrenia.
not recommending it, but millions already know the truth.
Well some people can learn many things that most of us are not capable exploiting their own demons and Gabriel had real hard ones, remember he wrote Supper's Ready inspired in an experience with his wife's face he thought that she was possesed
Walking across the sitting-room, I turn the television off.
Sitting beside you, I look into your eyes.
As the sound of motor cars fades in the night time,
I swear I saw your face change, it didn't seem quite right.
A guy who has this imagination (enhanced by by his disorder) doesn't need drugs.

Apparently Ted Nugent has always been a drug free artist- he claimed he didn't realise the drug connotations of songs like 'Journey To The Centre Of The Mind' and the fried 'Why Is A Carrot More Orange Than An Orange'(!) whilst playing them in The Amboy Dukes.

Hahah yes Why disenfranchise your fans when you can drop subtle hints in the music instead? RUSH comes to mind. 2112, Cygnus X-1, and The Fountain of Lamneth have COUNTLESS references to LSD/marijuana.

I thought back in the '70s that Yes was pretty much drug-free except for Wakeman.
The way it sounded, the rest of Yes were non-drinking, non-smoking vegetarians while Wakeman was a beer-drinking carnivore.
That was supposed to be the reason he was in and out of the band so many times. I don't know, just what was going around back then.
And I'm speaking as a beer-drinking carnivore.
