Yesterday in school, some of students in the class I was subbing for was doing a project on heroin. I guess because of the recent death of Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Now the teacher had a bulletin board with him on it the word genius was used to describe him. I thought "Hmm, if he was a genius, then shouldn't he have known the effects of heroin before he overdosed?" I know this is a naive question, but I seriously can't understand why the word "genius" was put next to "drug addict." So it got me thinking about the various actors and musicians who died of drug overdose. So I asked them if they ever heard of Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley, or even Chris Farley? They said no to each and every one of them, I was somewhat shocked I might add. So here's some stuff I grew up watching and listening to. ENJOY!!!
Alice in Chains, Down in a Hole. RIP Layne Staley (1967-2002)
Nirvana, Where Did You Sleep Last Night? RIP Kurt Cobain (1967-1994)
And of course, the sad clown himself, Chris Farley. (1964-1997)
