Misfortune implies that there was some sort of bad luck involved. Abusing harder drugs is a pretty surefire way to make your own luck.

I think there are quite a few people who believe this was a direct dig at River and missed the point of the song.

The addiction is vicariously following celebrity excesses and premature death.

More a comment on media & pop culture than anything else.

[FuckedBySanity]

it may not be a dig, but the graphic descriptions of his "body thrashing around"..

i just think its quite insensitive and ghastly..

@clairebbbear They don't. Damian Cowell (Humphrey B. Flaubert) has formed the DC3, and their debut track is called I Was the Guy in TISM.

funny :) though my favorite bit with MJ isnt there :(

[boogs2007]

Is it just me or is there a verse missing.

It starts with "Now pour there's no stopping" and there's a mention of M.J in it too.

That's the verse I was talking about.

heath ledger and michael jackson are completely different to what this rubbish band is doing. people who loved and adored michael and heath are buying their movies and albums. This is making fun of another human beings misfurtune.

Agreed, but that didn't stop labels/studios/agents having a field say with rushes of sales (a certain Michael Jackson topped the charts the other day.) So while TISM are far more brutal and say what they want to say and everyone hears it, there are people rubbing their hands together out of anyone's sight. People are probably making a fortune off Jackson's works right now. Same with Heath ledger, would it even have been half as successful had he not died?

So TISM are by no means the only ones!
