Why do you think so many celebs face drug addiction? They're being exploited, often have to compromise their morals, and drugs are a coping mechanism.
Institutions of power are masters of controlling people. It's almost scientific.

- dillondoyle 6y agoI also really like this Gaga interview referencing Amy Winehouse "You can't have it both ways; You can't enjoy listening to somebody singing sad songs about the blues and heartbreak and then not expect them to be truly heartbroken." A lot of artists already struggle with mental health and addiction issues and that is why their music is powerful and propels their success. Amy Winehouse is one of my favorite artists. Watch Amy for an amazing, sad, portrait that shows her existing struggles which were amplified to the extreme by our treatment and ridicule of her. Mac Miller is another example that comes to mind, his last few albums in particular are lyrically intense and personal and candid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddRN5lYMTJY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddRN5lYMTJY
