I usually don't want much to do with this woman so I wasn't sure I should post this.
(God knows we already have many threads about her)
However I think this is something that should be talked about.
"Lady Gaga: Drugs Inspired Me
Lady Gaga caused a stir when she admitted to Vanity Fair that she occasionally does cocaine, and now she defends her drug use to Q magazine (via Contact Music) on the basis that it helped her creatively.
"[Using drugs] I really figured out the art I wanted to make and was inspired," she said. "Some people find inspiration in dark places. I guess I'm one of them. What always made me different is that if I was doing drugs I was also making music. I wasn't just doing drugs."
Though drugs helped her get her start, now Gaga only does cocaine "a couple of times a year," she told Vanity Fair.
"Once you open those doors they're open for ever," she said in the Q interview. "People who say they need [drugs] to be creative are full of s**t. I'm not some chick on the road getting high and f***ed up every night. I wake up, drink coffee and get on the phone to talk about the creative direction of the next video."
Janice Dickinson has slammed Gaga for glamorizing drugs to her young fans.
"As a recovering addict who knows how dangerous occasional use is, I can think of no reason for Gaga to reveal this to her young audience," she told Life & Style. "She is a f**king idiot. The way she mentioned cocaine, I think she should really get spanked. You can damage and hurt kids. I'm appalled." "

When she talked about it before in Vanity Fair magazine, Boy George wrote the following on his blog:
"If Lady GaGa were about to be exposed as a drug user I would understand her recent confession... that she is an 'occasional' coke sniffer. But why offer up this information on a whim? Could it be that her use of coke is not so 'occasional?' As a recovering addict who knows how dangerous 'occasional' use is, I can think of no reason for GaGa to reveal this to her young audience."
"My mum had the best take on this: 'She's reached the stage where she feels untouchable, you all get there - you did, son.' I can't argue with that! "
I'm gonna put my personal opinion of this girl out of the way for a second.
What shocks me the most is that many of her fans are defending her by saying things like "almost every artist does drugs". Yet a large part of her fanbase are teens.
I understand the link between drugs and music has been around for a long time. But isn't it time to give it up? Haven't enough artists died because of drugs?
What do you guys think of this?
Personally I can think of many great artists that made amazing music without using any kind of drugs...and if they did do drugs it (almost) ended up killing them...
