Well yes, but that wasn't really the point I was getting at.

think of how many people do you know picked up a guitar because they honestly thought it would make them independently wealthy?

now think of how many people picked up a guitar because they wanted an 'in' to getting laid.

it's not even close.

People that pick up a guitar just to get laid usually don't play for very long, but if you were already into music and impressing a girl was the final push then...

Agreed. I feel like theres much easier ways to get laid. If I spent all the hours iv wasted noodling away on various instruments at the gym Id look like Mr Universe with woman in every room of my house, but instead I have a noodly body and have to work to get laid!

Most songs you find out there are going to be love songs, so the obvious answer to this question is sex. sure rap songs about having money and blues songs about not having money are always in surplus but are nothing compared to the amount of love songs same with drugs and politics you put drugs politics and money together it still wouldn't stand up to the amount of love songs. and also a lot of songs about drugs, money, and/or politics usually have some sort of "love" part to it. sex wins hands down.

I would've voted for that.

Definitely not drugs. Some of the greatest musicians ever (Mozart, Bach, etc..) weren't making amazing pieces of music because they were stoned or shrooming. Although I have to admit, it would have been very interesting to see what the result of that would have been.

I'm hard-pressed between money and sex, and can't really decide. As a musician (if you could call me that), I would have to admit my musical career (if you could call it that) has been driven more under the sex category than the money category. Granted, a) as a young adult I'm supposed to be horny, b) as a young adult I still can leech off my parents, and c) I'm a crap musician.

So I guess that debunks my logic, oh well, **** it.

No they just drank heavily, because thats sooo much different than doing drugs. Thats how they presume Mozart died. From led poisoning. He got that because they would put led balls in the bottom of the wine and he drank a hell of a lot.
