Why must some people think that all  rock songs are about drugs?  People
who think
like that don't deserve to hear quality music.  There are many other
reasons musicians write songs. Drugs are actually a minor reason, contrary
to popular belief.  Many Tool songs have absolutely nothing to do with the
subject, yet many hear Tool and think "drugs" Open yer fucking minds,
people...(I know I'm going off a bit here, but we already had this
discussion and it always peeves me.  Do you know how long many little
fratfucks went off about NIN's "Head Like a Hole" being about acid? That's
right, too fucking long)
