I might have left out some names (sorry about that) but these people have lived self-destructive lives, after the date of Brian Jones death, I relazied, how many others have died thru drinking & drugs.
Some are still around to talk about it (Steve Tyler/Alice cooper) but a lot don't, I forgot Marianne Faithful, but I was just looking at musicians, there's so many others, there's thousands, people who live self-destructive all the time.

The Rolling Stones ain't just a group, their a way of life-Andrew Loog Oldham.

Reply #1 - Jul 4^th, 2008 at 10:51pm My choice was Amy Winehouse. Twenty-something y.o. and she already has emphysema? I'm a bit surprised Alice Cooper is a choice. He's been sober for 25 or so years and is actively involved in youth programs in his hometown.

Yeah, some people have changed their lives around, & Alice cooper is one of them, he's been sober for over 25 Yrs. he's a born again Christian, but back in the 70's, he used to drink 30 Beers a day, & drink Seagrams VO at night, he was such an alcoholic that he almost lost all things in his life, he was a serious case that some people thought he would die.

Although not a lot of people know about Bix Beiderbecke, he was the most self-destructive artist of his time, going back to the early 1900's, he was a jazz musician, that a movie was based on, starring Kirk Douglas, he drank himself to death.

I'm not sure that just because someone dies young or even used drugs for awhile necessarily make them self destructive. Does the fact that someone actually survives drugs, like Keith, make them less "self destructive".....?????
