Drug use
Page has acknowledged heavy drug use throughout the 1970s. 
In an interview with Guitar World magazine in 2003, he stated:

"I can't speak for the [other members of the band], but for me drugs  were 
an integral part of the whole thing, right from the beginning, right to the  
end."

Please kids,  NEVER assume that talent is linked to substance abuse! It 
the other fucking  way around! And yes I do use profanity only when I 
must make a big point...  I know you probably said that in jest. But still.

You got a point in the  following phrase though. But not because of the 
latter. It's just that if  you want to be serious enough in art it is 
often at the expense of a  "normal" life whatever that is. But alcohol or 
drugs have nothing to do in  the equation. If anything they are means to 
chase the boredom that arises  when the creative fluids are a bit dried 
up. Only to wait for the fluids to  flow again and NOT to help them! 
People tend to confuse these two very  different points.

And to paraphrase someone (I think it was Lennon). Sure  it's faster to 
fly from point A to pont B, but you can't see the landscape  and you risk 
crashing. Well I'd rather walk if you don't mind?

Just  saying you know. :D
