There’s some great comedy by the late Bill Hicks about his drug and alcohol use and that by rock and roll bands like the Rolling Stones and The Beatles and what music would sound like without drugs. Not to disparage the author but I see he is selling a book called: Real Artists Don’t Starve. I haven’t read the book, I have to ask myself what if that was the approach taken by Van Gogh? What would his art look like? My guess is probably pre-Impressionist Manet. Carl Sagan was a famous pot head who said something like re-evaluate the ideas that you come up when you high after you’ve come down. I find the ideas can flow when I drink. I have heard other people say that that doesn’t happen for them. There’s a great quote on the floor of the Guggenheim in New York: LET EACH MAN EXERCISE THE ART HE KNOWS I think it’s really, find what works for you.
