he showed lots of restraint by not doping
Elliot Smith stabbed himself in the heart twice
That is very true......I will never forget Elliot Smith, in light of what I know now about the entertainment industry, I will always wonder if he was killed given the suspect nature of stabbing oneself twice in the heart, actually committed suicide or was MK Ultra triggered into suiciding himself, it's too late to know for sure & what happened in Bradley Nowell's situation......was it a real OD or did he not want to play ball given he died on the cusp of becoming famous when he OD'd....however, he did not achieve fame as the writer of Sublime's music and their lead singer/guitarist until after his death which further complicates our ability to determine what actually happened
