there troubled souls imo. its sad that young people can get themselves into the state that winehouse/doherty etc.. have got themselves into.
but its what happens all over the country, not just by a few celebrities. your next door neighbours probably on heroin, there only bit of luck is there not being hounded by paparazzi all day. i dont think that element of being in a band/ on telly etc... helps.
the tabloids will always go for the stories which make you look bad which is where i can see why you got such low opinions of these people without meeting them. they could be really nice people and its not nice to judge. but so easy when you read about it in the sun/star etc
ive tried drugs and there not for me, im sure a lot of you have done too. some will give up or find it easy to give up some will crave it and do anything to get it.
i think using waste of oxygen is a bit of an over exadgerated comment tho. if it was your mum/dad/brother/sister would you think the same as what you think of a couple of musicians. i dont think there would be many who would say yes.
