It still doesn't mean we should tarnish his name
Most of that he did on his own. Or allowed it to happen.
One of the things that goes along with being that famous, that rich, is that so many people just want to be down and roll with you, that you don't have to deal with anything real, and slowly you become divorced from reality. But all those people around you, as Pink Floyd sang:
The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think.
Oh by the way, which one's Pink?
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy
we call it Riding the Gravy Train.
And the price of being one of those people on that Gravy Train is you never, ever, ever tell the star 'no.' As soon as you say 'no' to the star, you're gone. But lots of people, perhaps even all persons, need someone to tell them 'no' once in a while. To tell them - "Hey, being a 35 year old guy having sleepovers with ten year olds - even if nothing ever happens - does not look good." Or "No Michael, you really don't need more plastic surgery." Or "No Jerry, I'm not going out to get you more heroin." "No, Bon Scott (or Hank Williams) you don't need another fifth." Since that never happens, we sadly know all to well the outcome.
