Here’s Evan Johns’ tongue-in-cheek song "Dear Doc", in which he asks for a little help with his health issues (brought about by his drinking): https://youtu.be/tGCr89_F38k?si=_hAc86gOTHH_vr70
And here’s a video made nine years ago, in which Evan discusses the real life consequences of his drinking. It’s pretty heartbreaking: https://youtu.be/tEVbbgI8OaI?si=9-4agHPw0x8EG1m3

@thecarpathian I don't think it's glorified. But it would pretentious to not see the link between drinking, music, and musicians. I think historically, there was nothing else for the working class as a relief from the pain called life than to listen to live music and/or sing, drink, maybe dance too. A serious trend now is that Millennials and Gen Z are drinking way less than previous generations. @bdp24 One of my closest friends is 76, drank and smoke his entire life 10+ beers and 15+ cigarettes a day. He has decent health, overall, may be better than mine and we are 20 years apart. He slowed down significantly though in the last few years and needless to say, he never ran half marathons. |
