Ian MacKaye was the first I knew that didn't take drugs and was open about it. I can say he was influential to me in that respect. A lot of other people I didn't have a clue who were or were not on drugs. Exceptions for those who were open about taking illegal drugs. Frank Zappa surprised me when I found out he didn't, but it made sense. I guess his attitude toward that kind of lifestyle shows up the way he lamb blasted the 70s/Disco club culture.

John Fogerty
