A lot of good has come from drugs. i think 'penny lane' is worth 10 dead kids. dark side of the moon is worth 100 dead kids. because a lot of kids wouldn't even be born if it weren't for that album, so it evens out.

There was just one moon. that familiar, yellow, solitary moon. the same moon that silently floated over fields of pampas grass, the moon that rose--a gleaming, round saucer--over the calm surface of lakes, that tranquilly beamed down on the rooftops of fast-asleep houses. the same moon that brought the high tide to shore, that softly shone on the fur of animals and enveloped and protected travelers at night. the moon that, as a crescent, shaved slivers from the soul--or, as a new moon, silently bathed the earth in its own loneliness. that moon.

That's what is so great about being able to record a 13-song album. you can do a very eclectic group of songs. you do have some almost pop songs in there, but you do have your traditional country, story songs. you have your ballads, your happy songs, your sad songs, your love songs, and your feisty songs.
Country Song Eclectic Style
No, i don't do drugs anymore, either. but i'll tell you something about drugs. i used to do drugs, but i'll tell you something honestly about drugs, honestly, and i know it's not a very popular idea, you don't hear it very often anymore, but it is the truth: i had a great time doing drugs. sorry. never murdered anyone, never robbed anyone, never raped anyone, never beat anyone, never lost a job, a car, a house, a wife or kids, laughed my ass off, and went about my day.

The choice is not between drugs and no drugs, but between illegal drugs and legal drugs. until the 1920s drugs were legal, why not now? lots of people are on drugs anyway - it is called medication.
