| Sumario: | Of all the creative industries, the most distinct link between drug use and creativity lies within music. The two elements seem to be intertwined, inseparable; that mythical phrase & ldquo;sex, drugs and rock and roll & rdquo; has been bandied about with a wink and a grin for decades. In this fascinating book, journalist Andrew McMillen talks with Australian musicians about their thoughts on & mdash;and experiences with & mdash;illicit, prescription, and legal drugs. Through a series of in-depth and intimate interviews, he tells the stories of those who have bitten into the forbidden fruit and avoided choking. By having conversations about something that & rsquo;s rarely discussed in public, and much less often dealt with honestly, McMillen explores the truths and realities of a contentious topic that isn & rsquo;t going away. Talking Smack is a timely, thought-provoking must-read that takes readers inside the highs and lows of some of our most successful and creative musicians.
