Russell Brand: Philip Seymour Hoffman is Another Victim of Extremely Stupid Drug Laws
Posted on on 9. February 2014http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article37572.htm 9/2/2014 By Russell Brand: Philip Seymour Hoffman is Another Victim of Extremely Stupid Drug Laws By Russell Brand In Hoffman’s domestic or sex life there is no undiscovered riddle – the man was a drug addict and, thanks to our drug laws, his death inevitable February 06, 2014 “Information Clearing House “The Guardian” Philip Seymour Hoffman’s death was not on the bill. If it’d been the sacrifice of Miley Cyrus or Justin Bieber, that we are invited to anticipate daily, we could delight in the Faustianjustice of the righteous dispatch of a fastliving, sequinspattered denizen of eMpTyV. We are tacitly instructed to await their demise with necrophilic sanctimony. When the end comes, they screech on Fox and TMZ, it will be deserved. The indignation, luridly baiting us with the sidebar that scrolls from the headline down to hell. But Philip Seymour Hoffman? A middleaged man, a credible and decorated actor, the industrious and unglamorous artisan ofBroadway and serious cinema? The disease of addiction recognises none of these distinctions. Whilst routinely described as tragic, Hoffman’s death is insufficiently sad to be left unsupplemented in the mandatory posthumous scramble for salacious garnish; we will now be subjected to mournography posing as analysis. I can assure you that there is no as yet undiscovered riddle in his domestic life or sex life, the man was a drug addict and his death inevitable. A troubling component of this sad loss is the complete absence of hedonism. Like a lot of drug addicts, probably most, who “goover”, Hoffman was alone when he died. This is an inescapably bleak circumstance. When we reflect on Bieber’s Louis Vuitton embossed, Lamborghini cortege it is easy to equate addiction with indulgence and immorality. The great actor dying alone denies us this required narrative prang. The reason I am so nonjudgmental of Hoffman or Bieber and so condemnatory of the pop cultural […] -
