+10000.Addiction is a disease.For some it's sex,fast cars,thrill seeking ,others it's drugs and alcohol.These people have lost control because the disease decreases their ability to make good decisions.They weren't idiots,just as my son wasn't an idiot when he became addicted to drugs and alcohol.He's fine now,clean and sober for many years,but that's because ,we helped him through it,refused to enable him,and got him into treatment.THAT is what the Who and Zep should have done for the Loon and Bonzo....not enabled their behavior.Townsend and Page have often said over the years,that they should,and could have done much more for these brilliant drummers and band mates.This tragedy, could possibly have been avoided.That's me speaking from experience.I'm not looking for an argument,just laying out the facts,not opinion...no offence meant.Steve B
Steve you are on the money it is most certainly a disease, Man it's great your son is on the mend.
