Janis Joplin, Amy Winehouse, Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Kurt Cobain, Hank Williams, Jimi Hendrix and the list goes on of famous young people who have had issues with drugs and alcohol. I heard this song "Alcohol and Pills" by Fred Eaglesmith while shopping in a small store recently and it brought tears to my eyes. It was this line of the lyrics that got me "fame doesn't take away the pain It just pays the bills". Not that we are all seeking fame, but I think we all have those moments of thinking that something bigger and better would make the pain of something else go away.
