Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll:
Its Effects on Rock Musicians
Throughout recent history rock artists have illustrated a reputation of leading an extreme lifestyle, involving the atrocious effects of drugs and a promiscuous sexual fantasy. Eventually this radical existence can take its toll on a person, leading them down a road to mental or physical breakdown. ... Furthermore you need to take into account whether or not their life as musicians caused them to take drugs or participate in a taboo sex life. Of course not all musicians do drugs or have a lot of sex with multiple partners as most people might imagine. Musicians that often experiment with these sorts of things most likely run into some problem or tragedy down the road.
Some of the most famous rock bands in history have had major problems with the use or abuse of drugs. To these people drugs must represent some kind of added experience or even a way to escape from life. ...

As they began to hang around more with his father, John Kiedis, they were quickly exposed to Los Angeles’ world of sex, drugs and rock and roll. ... This consequence of drugs was not apparent to them till it actually happened to one of their close friends. ... He does not blame his father for letting him be exposed to drugs; actually he is glad that he did let him do what he wanted. It let him really understand the dangers of drugs. ... One would think that their realization of this power almost replaced that feeling you would get from taking drugs. Another sense of power would have come from Anthony’s sex appeal. ... No information has come to the conclusion that the pressures of the rock world caused these artists to result to drugs. One would think that even if their father did not expose them to the world of sex, drugs and rock and roll the band members would have encountered drugs any how. At that time the influence of the Los Angeles rock world would have been enough to get them involved with the indulgences of being famous and having lots of money. Because John Kiedis was such a big influence on Anthony’s life, he may have prevented any drug usage by him not doing it himself and therefore giving Anthony the mind set that drugs were not something he wanted to get involved with.
