Maybe so, Frank, but you're absolutely right that he must have been
taking
SERIOUS amounts of these painkillers, given the side-effect of hearing
loss
that these drugs caused.


Well, Rush is claiming the hearing loss was caused by an autoimmune
disorder. He says it's just a coincidence that he was taking the drugs
at the time. Dunno about that, though.


I just got off of a year's duty as the foreman on our county Grand
Jury.
Having eaten lunch most days with the District Attorney and various
police
(state, local, and county), I'll repeat what they told me.
"Methamphetamine
addicts are the most dangerous to others. Oxycontin addicts are the
most
dangerous to themselves -- they usually end up dead of overdoses."

Rush is lucky to be alive.

And Rush wasn't breaking into people's homes to support his habit. I
guess the average addict buys about as much of a drug as they can
afford, and they risk an overdose after lean period.
