I read these "shocking stories" today...but I'm old school, and when I compare them to what rock stars did in the past it seems like nothing at all.
I mean...people are OUTRAGED that Lyndsay Lohan had a bit of cocaine and likes to drink and act stupid. Same thing with Charlie Sheen.
To me they are like amateurs compared to MY heroes: Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, Jimmy Page, Motely Crue...etc.
All this "shocking" behavior would be a dull day for stars a few years ago. But I guess internet sensationalism and the "moral" conservative turn our country has taken over the last 30 years makes it seem so "bad" to the latest generations who are bored out of their minds because they've never done drugs or even fucked a girl without a condom.
At least that's my theory. In 1985 Lyndsay Lohan's behavior would have been considered pretty "normal" for a young hot looking girl with fame and money. And Charlie Sheen would have just been another playboy rich movie star. The papers didn't even bother to report that kind of thing.
But people these days seem to be mostly nerds and geeks and pussies. The kind of people that we made fun of when I was in high school. Now it seems to be the norm, and somehow guys like me who WERE "normal" are now the "bad guys" lol
