(no he didn't do drugs, or sleep with all those groupies)
the drugs part has to be how can someone make music like that and not be under some type of influence

First Sentence:
This book exists on the premise that somebody, somewhere, is interested in who I am, how I got that way, and what the **** I'm talking about.

Have you ever heard the first record he bought?

Ink Spots? Nope.
Bill Haley and The Comets? Nope
Louis Prima? Nope

It was Varese's "Ionisations." Go listen to it. . . it'll ALLLLLLLL make sense.

He hints in the book that he dabbled in it. . . but it didn't do a lot for him. He widely believes drugs are just an excuse people use to act like assholes.

. . . but Varese's "Ionisations" is ahhh. . . out there. . . wayyyyy out there.
