Tommy's drug problem is pretty much public knowledge.. but JY's? If I do recall the song Snowblind was written by both JY and DDY about cocaine abuse..

Was Tommy really ever addicted to cocaine? I always thought it was a recreational habit done infrequently for him for a few years off and on. I never got the feeling from his interviews that he was totally strung out. I think he even said something to effect, "Look by what else was going on at the time in the music scene, what I did was mild in comparison....but it still affected me" or something of that nature. I sometimes think that Tommy's wildness has gotten exaggerated with time.

That should answer your question (Tommy was very open about cocaine). Oh, that and What If.

Say what you want but it was Tommy's addiction to fishing that had more to do with the band breaking up than anything else.

Why the puzzled look?????

Chuck talked extensively about Tommy's fishing addiction in his book.

It covered more than 3 pages in Chapter 8 and 11 pages in Chapter 10. If I knew how to link that I would.

The fishing addiction ended up on the cutting room floor when they taped Behind The Music.

Mike Reno and Loverboy sung about this in their song Fade To Black off their latest CD.

It is just so hard to explain addictive behaviors. No one really understands why some people will consume one or two beers and can stop when ever they choose, yet some, once they start have to drink the entire case.

I remember reading an article that stated in the late 70's Chuck became so addicited to garage sales that he almost left the band and moved to Texas.

It's truly mind boggeling!!!!
