The song is about how his father gave him a middle name that meant "The Devil". I gave you a fact and your telling me that it is a poor statement. Sorry man.. I grew up in an artist community with people including my father that are completely against drug use but make some of the weirdest art work. So don't tell me that you need drugs to think outside the box..

You're the one making the poor statement. I never said he did this song while on drugs. I said it seems influenced by them. I stopped doing them a long time ago too, but I can still remember "trips" and things related to them. And if you think creativity has nothing to do with drugs - I don't know what to tell you. Sure, they aren't necessary, but some artists choose to use them and have made some of the most original work in history. Don't make broad, inaccurate statements.

Alexander Ebert started this band after he became sober in his early 20's and he is still sober to this day. Creativity has nothing to do with drugs unless you are just not creative. Do your research before you make poor statements.
