i think it’s funny how when some people talk abt alex turner’s potential drug usage it’ll either be like “he has a major drug and alcohol problem it’s so obvious!!!” or “i don’t think he’s the type to have ever even tried a hard drug” as if there isn’t a ton of middle ground between those two extremes

like the man who wrote “why’d you only ever call me when you’re high” and has been a touring musician since he was 19 has obviously fucking been high - and not just with weed - but that also doesn’t mean he’s completely off his head in every interview he’s ever done 😭😭

#a lot of the assumption that he’s always high is definitely due to his social awkwardness and (potentially neurodivergent) quirks #but that doesn’t mean he’s NEVER high either #i do think some would be surprised just how unavoidable coke is in quite literally any touring musician’s circle #and that said i do know that within the industry it’s rumoured/known that he has an off and on again coke habit #source: my father 😭#when i’ve brought him up w my dad he’s always just like ‘from what i’ve seen he’s a proper genius - vices and all’#i’ve seen ppl comment on how his performances entirely depend on how much coke he’s done and i don’t disagree that that may have an impact #but i think it’s unfair to classify him as some full-blown unfunctional addict #bc trust me when i say that there would be NO doubt that there’s a problem if there was a massive problem #anyway it’s an interesting topic and i do think it’s worth exploring but i also think it’s important to keep a balanced view on things #if we’re presenting them as fact and not fiction #alex turner #arctic monkeys #milex
