I seem to recall that when the Clash kicked out Topper Headon, they made an oblique statement about how he had fallen victim to the bourgeoisie trappings of fame.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Anyway, I don't know the particulars. But I have seen this dynamic play out dozens of times, and this is a common pattern.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I think everyone has, David.

I still feel bad about Bob's poor dog.
Who has gone to rehab besides Gerard (and Brian Schecter)?

Heh. That particular oblique statement totally means "cokehead."

Mikey went too, I believe.

I was thinking Mikey, Gerard, and Brian addiction-wise.

Oh- I guess I only thought that Mikey went to inpatient psych, not rehab, but that makes sense.
Part of the reason this is disconcerting to me, I think, is that in my head, Ray and Bob are the strong, normal ones. But I am aware that I do not actually know these people.

Same here.
I realize my impression is not actually familiar, but it seems really weird that Bob would a)not go to rehab if he needed it and; b) leave the band rather than go.
