What do you think about the subject?
Why did great musicians decide to ruin themselves with their own hands?
What do you think drove these kids, barely in their twenties, geniuses, acclaimed, with the world in their hands, to enter this tunnel with little or no way out?

no way out? Well, musicians who died of overdose are relatively few... most musicians and composers who used drugs, or who otherwise delved into the world of addiction, are alive, well, and active :-)

Looking at this list:

it doesn't seem that musicians are alone on the wrong track.
I think it is a stereotype and that, like all stereotypes, it also contains a small truth.
