Meat Puppets were a band obviously influenced by their use of drugs, without their music sounding too "druggy".

If you're a very sharp listener, it isn't too difficult to hear the sort of drugs that someone is taking just by the way their songs sound.

Mighty Diamonds' Pass The Kouchie was about drugs. Musical Youth's version changed it to Dutchie to remove the drug references.

while i agree with that statement, id also think that someone would have to have interest/knowledge and/or experience with the drugs to know what drugs inspired a song, no matter how sharp a listener they are.

but i know what you mean, songs with mega polished production are usually powered by the rampant perfectionism that only cocaine can provide one with, like fleetwood mac's 'rumours'. songs with close to no production and tons of dissonance and atonality can be accosicated with opiates, i.e., royal trux. is that what you mean at least?

i don't know. i've never seen anyone use a candle. it seems pretty archaic for some reason.

sarramkrop 06.11.2008 08:44 AM

I was generalising, by the way. George Michael's songs make you want to take drugs unaware that he does take some himself.

Cantankerous 06.11.2008 08:44 AM

i think he fell asleep driving and was arrested not too long ago.
