I never liked watching The Real World, so it’s no surprise that I dislike Chelsea Girls for the same reasons; Self important, egocentric twenty-somethings talking about their problems and expounding on the privileged, yet tough lives they are forced to live. Regardless of if Warhol did it first, I still feel very unsympathetic towards those people. Maybe because they help foster the irresponsible attitudes of the modern American culture. Even if they didn’t know about the serious ramification of substance abuse, they certainly could have taken a lesson from history that sloth and decadence aren’t the greatest of virtues. Even today, young people are continuing on this great ‘experiment’ of drug use. I’d like to see everyone’s data and hypotheses on that so far. Yeah, I know it makes me sound like a square, but didn’t Andy say something about needing to be a square sometimes?

This experimentation with drugs has been a part of history since the dawn of civilization. In life it’s all about the choices we make as individuals, and while it may be sad to see someone degenerate from drug abuse it was still their choice whether we tried to help them or not. I believe we have to continue to learn these lessons, good and bad, as our spirits travel through time.
