When I was younger... not like a little kid or anything, like when I got to the age of sixteen I wanted to be a junkie when I grew up. I failed miserably at it though. I was too poor to get addicted to heroine, a little scared and unable to find a way to pay for a drug habit, nor could I find anyone who sold it. I wasn't really looking though, it just sort of a day dream.

Before that I didn't really have any ideas what I wanted to be. When I turned fourteen I was a self proclaimed nihilist, I still am some days. I didn't think of the future because it was only an illusion, so was everything else. and before that I don't even know. I had no idea, I was a naive and stupid child. I can't remember most of my childhood.

When I turned about seventeen my sister had this friend of hers, a guy she was living with. He could of hooked me up with cocaine, but that wasn't my style. I wanted to tie up and inject a drug into my arm, I wanted to be a punk rocker, like Lou Reed or Kurt Cobain. but he also had weed, and weed was close enough for me. So one day i was over there and they were passing around a bowl. I thought I'd turn into a junkie if I had too much... which wasn't really a problem I guess. ?

But I reflected on my life before I took that first hit. The kids at school joked that if you took one hit of pot your entire life was over. But I realized something, I didn't have a life to begin with. I didn't give a fuck about anything. I didn't strive for anything, I just didn't care... I had nothing to lose. I never really became one of the stoners. I never bought pot from a dealer, I only smoked it occasionally with a few friends. All my friends that smoke it have either grown distant or quit so the option isn't there anymore.

My point is I never became a junkie. I failed at my dream!!! Okay that's not exactly the point, sorry... what "Who Needs Drugs" is about is this: People don't need drugs to be a fuck up. Usually if someone is using drugs they had already given up on there life a long time ago. People use drugs because there life is sad, it lacks any thrill or excitement... or they just need a way to escape something that is so cripplingly depressing that it's all they can do to keep themselves from committing suicide... Now that I've made that clear, WHO NEEDS DRUGS!!!

Did someone say they didn't like your song? :(

I usually don't like my songs. You are not required to like my songs. If I didn't associate with all the people who thought my my music was bad than I would be a very lonely person... and I'd have no friends.

lol, your friends don't like it?!?!

I thought it was entertaining....like you said. :P

They say it isn't deep enough. And that it isn't fast enough. They only listen to music that's over 9000 beats per second, and as deep as the sea.

The NeverHundred Life Story book is available in all good retail stores for £13.99, I don't know why it is on sale in the UK and not the US.

My life was depressingly bad at school, many times I've had the option to take any kind of drug, the offer has always been there. But I rejected it all, call is sheer bloody single-mindedness or something, but I knew that I didn't want to run away from my problems, I finally found my outlet, my only outlet in writing, its the only way I could do it. But your point is certainly valid, the broken homes, the parent break-ups, the lonliness and despair and the world itself.

I'm lad I didn't start any addictive substances now. Maybe when I have my midlife crisis I'll get back to drug experimentation. Until than I'm be mostly clean. I probably wont succumb into my ancestral alcoholism until I'm in my like twenties.. After that who knows...

If music was like that most of it would be crap and mushy love love stuff. I perfer it the way it was intended to be by it's creator. :)

I'm working on a love song though. One about a boy, a girl... and a keytar! I just haven't figured out the songs structure yet. Also I'm trying to work out the most important part of the song, the punchline. I'll probably go for the obvious and make fun of the fact I even wrote a love song in the first place...

Sounds like a plan! Although I'm questioning the keytar. Going for the obvious wouldn't be that appealing to the listeners cause then they'd be all like "Not very original" and whatnot. BUT if you did go for the obvious the listners wouldn't have to think too much (though I prefer the provoking of thought option). You know what you're doing so I trust it will come out well. :D

The obvious punchline would be to state that the song is a love song and therefor irrelevant and pointless. A line such as...

Today when I was at the rehearsal,
I decided to write a song that was commercial.

The less obvious punchline might be to say something that implies that maybe playing keytar isn't required after all, which in itself questions the intire concept that the song seems to be built on.

I will never fall in love, until I meet a girl who can play the piano tie.

That in itself is nonsensical because you can't play a piano tie. Saying something like that is along the lines of just plan saying, "I will never fall in love."
