Dear Pilgrim, choose your role models carefully. For instance, you may love the works of Hunter S. Thompson, Marlon Brando, Keith Richards, (I do too, especially their early works before they became cliches & beloved icons), but imitating their behavior, their lifestyles, might not be the smartest life-choice. Think Famous Train-Wrecks!
Too many mind-altering substances. Too little sleep. Too many $. Too many tattoos. Too little discipline. Burning brain cells and dollars just for the fuck of it.
Check out this profile of Johnny Depp from Rolling Stone - The Trouble with Johnny Depp: "Multimillion-dollar lawsuits, a haze of booze and hash, a marriage gone very wrong and a lifestyle he can’t afford – inside the trials of Johnny Depp."
Jaw-dropping. Bloat and madness. Elvis-like! Isolated. Clueless. Drowning. Maybe it's not surprising that a wealthy, beloved & successful movie star turns out to be lousy with money and sadly dysfunctional. Poor Johnny. He seems mixed up, confused, bleeding cash, heading for calamity. Time for an intervention. This guy needs a good friend, a clear head, a total re-think.
