Poor baby.

Meanwhile, Keith Richards finally kicked heroin in his 60's and turns 80 next year. Even after he hit the big-time, he spent the next 60 years continuing to create music that my great-grandkids will still be listening to.

Neither one is a role model, but personally, I prefer the non-whiner who didn't quit doing things just because someone paid him enough to afford an addiction.
Envy, jealousy anyone?
