    i don't agree. it's just it's worth pointing out that the rise in his creativity has been out of the ashes of recovery.

    it's an important thing to note, especially in a creative realm. if i had a dollar for every 'creative' - be it music, design, artist - that has said you need drugs to push the creative envelope i'd be rich.

    i know 2 people that became heroin users due to a fascination with burroughs and cobain (this was around '93) and that isn't as unique a sad story as you'd think.

    i think reznor is a great role model for creativity and positive living. it doesn't need to be 'straight-edge' (a la minor threat) but certainly the argument of drugs and creative endevour is less and less there thanks christ.

    the thing is that heroin seems to be labelled as the 'junkie' drug whereas coke is more accepted as just an addicition. personally i think you're a junkie either way. i'd read in quite a few places and interviews that reznor had overdosed from heroin in london. that's important as if you can kick heroin and then become a better person than you were before it's a good example for anyone else on the gear. makes a change from a few people i know that kicked it that complain that no high is ever as good.

    just my 2 cents.
