heyday in music, you know, CDs are still selling, there's money everywhere, drugs everywhere, alcohol, women, whatever you want, it's all there for you.

In fact, it's encouraged.

In fact, it's, you know, like I said, dude, like, we were like, oh, who's going to take the caner of the year off you?

Do you know what I mean?

Like, I was trying, I was trying very hard, but you were right out in front of me, you know?

Yeah.

But it's, and...

It's mad to think back and look at that stuff and go, how were we held up on pedestals for doing that stuff, knowing the outcome?

And I kind of feel like sometimes the press look at you and go, oh, here's one.

Here's one.

If we poke them hard enough and for long enough, this is a car crash waiting to happen.

And so let's do it because people love a car crash.

They slow down for a car crash.

And I think that gets into selling, you know, selling mags and selling rags and all that kind of stuff.

And it's interesting the ones that they do kind of pick.

But I'm glad now that, you know, kids these days, I don't think they don't have that same kind of class, suicidal idols.

They don't have that same want and gusto.

A lot of them are about health.

A lot of them are, you know, they don't drink alcohol.

probably maybe because of COVID or something they just like lost the social buzz of going out into a pub or finding that sense of community you know but yeah I was talking to my kids about it my daughter's like 16 now she goes to a party she came back drunk one night I had a bit of a chat I was trying not to freak out I was like she's not me it's okay
