Wiedziony instynkyem powstrzymał się, zdecydiwany zdjąć
w środku prycza, kto wyjąwszy przesłanek, trawy morskiej oraz
potencjalnych pluskiew krył
porządną stalową płytę. W środku tapczanem czekała
śrutówka Wingma.

No one sets out to become hurtful and use people (most especially those they love most). Rather, it’s a byproduct of the disease od addiction. An unwelcomed one. One that causes the addict much guilt and remorse, which in turn and ironically fuels the addiction. Incidentally, addiction has been recognized as a disease (with genetic roots) by The American Medical Association for decades now, as opposed to a weakness of character, as you and some others have posted.

There is a lot of information about addiction out there. There’s simply no excuse for so much ignorance about it. It would have been nice if you had the ability to write as a fully informed disseminator. One of the most intuitive learning experiences one could have is to attend open 12-Step meetings for the addict in question. In lieu of that, any addict primary program will suffice. If you keep an open mind you will learn the experience of carrying that heavy load in life. No one would choose it as a lifestyle knowing the pain it creates in self and others. And who would they take themselves out of the picture when they just had a baby and got married and were on the verge of realizing their dreams? Your tone makes it sound like anyone who dies from drugs is a merely a transient fool. Wrong! It’s an unfathomable tagedy born by our collective sorrow for the loss of a dynamic soul wrenched from us far too soon. Some respect is in order, addict or not.

While we’re in the neighborhood, let’s visit the worn out comparison between Brad Nowell and Curt Cobain. While they both were addicted to heroin, Curt Cobain committed suicide. With a gun. Brad Nowell did not mean to die. It was a tragic accident. I respect & appreciate Curt Cobain, however he didn’t possess the creativity, humor, effervescence and charm that Bradley Nowell did.

It appears your hostility regarding the dark side of addict’s behavior has clouded your judgement. Bradley Nowell remains an exceedingly valuable creative force. With regard to your dissmissive belittlement of Bradley: “…he was just an evening’s worth of good vibe guitar licks bouncing around the Long Beach party scene.” Let me elucidate a couple if facts about the man. He was educated, well-read and insightful. He was also sensitive, smart and deep, aside from being obviously quite gifted. If you can’t extract that from his music, you either haven’t listened to it, or you aren’t capable of very deep thought or perception (I hazard a guess at the latter).
Bradley Nowell’s accomplishments, his life’s work, his immense talent and unique contribution to music will live on well past your snarky, talentless, mean-spirited, tunnel visioned commentary about something you obviously don’t know much about; namely the very subject you wrote about. Way to go, brainiac.

“The lady (i.e.YOU) doth protest too much, methinks.” (Shakespeare’s Hamlet, act III, scene II). Clever as your “in bed” gag/comparison is, and I do mean that, it’s not original but it is funny, no matter how many times I hear or use it. You speak as one who has a very pronounced opinion of addicts but not much understading of addiction, nor the compassion such an understanding naturally elicits. It would really help not to dismiss you entirely as a reporter and commentator were you not so obviously biased and, worse, uneducated about addiction.
