what makes you think that a drug-user is always "floating around on a
cloud?" you're working on a stereotype here, thinking that every user goes
on binges and is coked out 24/7. bono could easily have been a more casual
coker, maybe just once in a while, like right before a show to give him a
boost.

who really cares anyway? coke isn't a bad thing, it's overdoing it that can
screw you up. as long as he's got it under control and doesn't let it
affect his work i don't see why anyone should freak out
