...or a hypocrite...IMO assisting the creative process is really a bunch of hooey...lord knows, towards the end, me and de boys was scorin' by the pound...and we sounded great!!! And my paintings were great, along with my sketches. My playing abilities rivaled the greats...so I was told, by others and myself...unfortunately my critics were as blitzed as I was...
It really is all in your head...listened to some of the the tapes some years later...we weren't so great...watched some movies that I thought were the funniest things I'd seen while WUI (watching under the influence), listened to music, etc. etc. etc. In hindsight it was "what was I thinking?"...
As someone who spent most of my waking hours zapped or drunk or a bit of both for big a bit of time, it's all a lie...just something that helps you escape the reality of it all...
