      @@gogoyubari366 you read his book and you realise the actual extent of his being a truly good human being.
      If you read anyone's autobiography expecting to discover they were perfect, then you know it was all a lie.
      Jonesy is and always was a desperately damaged and flawed human being who hurt some people, but no worse than he was hurt. God knows he wishes he was stronger, more courageous, but he's survived where so many others didn't. That's called life.
      He's a good man.

    • @Vichedges
      @Vichedges Před 2 lety +1

      Steve can sing. He was singing before he was a guitarist.
      He said originally the guitar was just a prop so he’d have something to do with his hands. Then he took a bunch of speed and played with records until he learned to play basic stuff.
      So drugs aren’t all bad kids.
