70's drug free artists???

 

and have any of these not had major drug or alcohol issues previous to their diagnosis?

 

my 1st wife was diagnosed as bi-polar after she used drugs and alcohol after our divorce. previously she never used drugs or alcohol and had no issues, that I could see outside of the fact everbody has issues. her public imagine and physical appearance is not of a drinker or drugger, to avoid contraversy she denies her past use publicly. so, you cant prove anything and I cant either(no matter what anyone sez), but if I think something I will say it from my viewpoint and experience. any true practitioner of dark or hidden things will deny association until a compremise is reached. even an alcoholic, which is fairly socially accepted will deny use to cover up behaviors. mostly progressive music was created as a vent for psychedelic, narcotic use in the 70's as well as selling non conventional intellectual idealogy as well as sexuality and spirituality. psychedelics was always the door opener to the thought processes. anyway I dont need another line by line bi-polar analysis of my thoughts or notions, I just have an alternative viewpoint and some agree some disagree, I think historically you shouldnt dismiss different viewpoints because an artist chooses to make there lifestyle private. do you know anyone that admits to selling there soul to the devil and has all the trappings of a real deal? do you know anyone that admits to serious cult activities? but do they not exist in the places you would least expect?

 

today anyone can go to a psyche and complain about issues and or suggest am I bi-polar, the answer 90% of the time is YES, then they can sell you medicine and more office visits. Not that some(10-20%) have disorders. The artists on the above list are just guesses too! Bi-polar was not even a diagnosis years ago and somebody with mental problems goes and sees that someone had this and someone had that and now the world is bi-polar. this is not worth a debate and I cease to continue. if someone has a viewpoint, start an alternate thread!

 

dont kid yourself back when this music was made, NO ONE that wasnt doing acid, smoking dope and experimenting with the rest, from lifestyles to philosophy would even listen to progressive rock. NONE!

 

their minds had no interest.

 

i believe Zappa and the Nuge. but i dont know about simmons

 

just locally, you probably would have a problem believing say Prince Bandar of Saudi Arabia formed a group of Muslim investors and use Jerry Jones as a frontman or so-called owner of the Dallas Cowboys. Jerry owned a failing oil company in Arkansas or Oklahoma and started sending oil drilling equipment to Saudi prince's back in the 80's. these are to people that paid my family 1 million dollars for the field at Texas Stadium years ago, and the last company that installed the latest field and the one that is going into the new stadium in Arlington, TX. believe as you wish and I think you should, I will not continue to respond so lets continue on another subject or kill the thread, both sides feel justified, not a problem for me, I will not make references to Zappa, Gabriel and Ian Andersons past, again!
