Thats sucks. I blame celebrity rehab. Another way to exploit and get ratings off of people who ship's have passed. They don't give a flying fuck about sobriety.

You blame Celebrity Rehab for him being a drug addict?

He was a drug addict long before that show was conceived. I don't think his appearance on the show would have made a difference. I actually saw a few episodes of the season he was on. He didn't even want to get sober, I don't think.

He used the money he got from being on the show to buy more drugs and continue his downward spiral.

Looks like he bought himself a lot of "Thai Food."

He would have gotten money elsewhere. Addicts always find a way. Always.

I'm talking about Jesus (Hey-Zeus).

He's the guy I usually get my supply from.

I don't mind the drugs. Who's to say their music wouldn't suck if they weren't on them. Seems to be a common denominator amongst the band.

The show however...alterior motive engaged. Like all reality trash shows.

I saw AIC back in '90. They opened for Van Halen. The only song at the time i knew was "Man in the Box", but they blew me away and i became an instant fan.

RIP Mike.
