Haggard: Why isn't everybody here on drugs?

Merle Haggard blames the poor state of modern music on the lack of drugs:

"I miss the freedom. They've taken all of our freedoms away. Everything's illegal now. I miss the music too. Why do you think the music was so good? Everybody was doing pills! Everybody had this great attitude."

Not quite, Merle - as recent Winehouse shows prove, musicians taking drugs don't make the performance any better. The audience, though, will tolerate a lot more if they're off their cakes.

Merle's right. You only have to look at the outstanding quality of Pete Doherty's post-Libertines output to see that.
