so, because they've never been full-fletched junkies means they merely "dabbled" in drugs?

People are very gallable and hypocritical.

you have obviously misconstrued my use of dabbled. i wasn't saying they smoked the odd joint here and there. you took it that way. and as for cocaine, i can well believe it.

I think smoking cigarettes and staying up all night makes you look older and worse than drug abuse. Keith Richards would always have looked, well, a bit odd

Just because they look healthy today means nothing. I can show you tons of people that had serious drug addictions, but you wouldn't see it today.

Jon has stated over and over again he never was into cocaine because for one, you can't get a h*rd on, using it.
"I never quite understood cocaine. You can’t get a hard-on, you grind your teeth and you can’t sleep. What the f**k is good about that?!
Did you ever do drugs?

”No.“

You must have dabbled.

”No. Didn’t have the mental capacity for drugs.“

How do you know, if you never did them?

”I did them so early in my life. I had a couple of bad trips and realised that I couldn’t handle it. I was very young. Thirteen.“

What’s a Jon Bon Jovi acid trip like?

”I just remember running right through a screen door, freaking my parents out and thinking the whole world was, like...“

With one fist, he mimes an undulating heart while humming woozily.

”It didn’t go away the next day, and stayed there the whole summer. At that age, when your hormones and whole body structure are changing and you’re tripping on drugs, you start wondering about your mental stability. Fortunately, for me, I went, ‘Wow man, I can’t handle this’. So I couldn’t smoke a joint after that. I never did anything more than once and I certainly never did junk.“

What about cocaine?

”It f**ks your voice up,“ he shrugs. ”Couldn’t sing. Plus I couldn’t afford it.“

” JBJ Kerrang interview

From the same interview, here's Richie
Richie’s take on drugs is slightly more hedonistic.

”Hey, if it was around, I’d check it out,“ he allows, ”but I never got into harder stuff like heroin. It doesn’t seem like anybody wins with that stuff, so why get in the ring? Drinking was the worst enemy I had at one point. It creeps up on the road and suddenly you’re drinking a bottle of vodka a day.“

Oh, I see what you are saying. If someone isn't quite as "pretty" and "boyish" looking as Jon or Richie, they aren't looking healthy???

Well, go look at Steven Tyler, he looks awesome (maybe not pretty) and most definitely HEALTHY. I just saw him in concert and was amazed by how good he looks. He looks extremely fit! Just like Joe Perry.

You are confusing pretty with healthy

You know I dont think anybody could live the life of Keith Richards and be around years later to talk about it . That guy is tough (richie actally wears a shirt in the bounce tour book it says Keith Richards Too Tough To Die ) I do actally agree with that .
Im sure that all of them at one time or another did things , but I agree they look healthy now and dabbled and Id like to say used here and there would probally be accurate .

Just because they look healthy today means nothing. I can show you tons of people that had serious drug addictions, but you wouldn't see it today.
