Day 8 - A Song about Drugs or Alcohol
A fertile field this one. Most rock being influenced in some way by drugs or drink. However, my initial top choice was the Velvet Underground and 'Heroin'. Essentially, yes, a song entirely about Lou Reed's heroin addiction. It's also a jaunty tune to boot.
In the end though, instead of glorifying drugs, I went with the lamentation of Neil Young and his song about lost friends to drugs in the 60s, The Needle and the damage done'.
A stripped back emotional trap full of pity and sadness. This is what drugs can do sometimes.
He's right, drugs and drink have seen a lot of talent go down the drain...
