The NYT article says this:
> "Controversies aside — most of which involved drugs, onstage banter taken too far and the unpredictability of both the band and its fans — the members of NOFX managed to do something most people can only dream of: They avoided having a day job for 40 years."
We're going to need some deep investigative journalism to sort this mystery out...

- smugma 2y agoThe article talks about how Smelly got his name because of the drugs but has been clean and sober for a long time. It also mentions how instead of drugs, they do yoga and get massages. No mention of their current sex life.
