I've read enough jazz and rock musician biographies to know that some people just decide that getting high is their job now and tamping down the effectiveness of their dope is probably one of the smartest ways to get them off of it. Yeah it's insane, but read a biography of Charlie Parker or Chet Baker and tell me what Sheen's family did isn't the more sane plan of action.

I don't know about actors, but I know a lot of musicians pretty much across all genres have a lot of anxiety about getting sober because they feel like they can't separate their creativity from their consumption.

RE: Ridley Scott... Watched half of Alien Earth with my wife last night while the kiddo was at grandma's. That show is fucking excellent! So many love letters to the original movies. Very cool concept for a show and now the thick is starting to plotten with a crazy reveal in Episode 5. Having a blast watching that shit!

I hate horror but am giving it a bigger shot this season. Alien was awesome and I roughly know the whole story but saw the first movie a few days ago. Should I get into it as someone just starting off in the genre?

I would! Maybe watch the second movie, Aliens, first. I actually like Alien 3 quite a bit,too. I think it was Fincher's first film, but it was plagued by production issues and rewrites.

The show has some horror elements for sure, but it's bigger than that. A lot of existential stuff thrown in. I would check out the first episode at least and see if it hooks you or not.

In my experience, it's all in what you're used to. I usually have a couple drinks when I play because nowadays, it's a social thing for me and it's not like I'm going out to the bar all the time like I used to before i had kids. But I can still play great sober if I want to do that, although I'm a little more off the cuff when I've had a few which can be fun.

If you get used to playing while you're high, you can start to think that you'll never be able to do what you can high while you're sober, which is a trap.

Alien 3 is awesome my mother took me to see it when I was in elementary school because she is awesome too.
