You know one thing that was always in the back of mind about Tom is that he was a drug addict in the 1990s and no one knew it. I mean he was doing heroine in his 40s. In your 40s drugs wiuld even be harder on the heart. I never understood that either because it just seemed late in life to become an addict. Plus, he had the money to enjoy life in other ways. I wonder just what went on in 90s. Ive also been very surprised by Ann Wilson who was doing a ton of drugs in the 1990s and no one knew it. Steven Tyler-well we all knew he was going to backslide.

I guess I just have always thought doing drugs by classic rock artists was such an 1980s thing. I shouldn't be that surprised about Tom having heart problems. He was damaging his heart during middle age.
