What A Waster

Somehow there's always someone taping Pete shooting up. I don't think this guy will ever kick heroin. But who cares? Maybe he shouldn't. His musical output is both prolific and satisfying, and he seems to be doing just fine with his addiction. He's almost always smiling and joking, and having a good time all around the globe. A court should simply require that he have a driver at all times so as not to endanger others. Beyond that, just let the man do what he does best.
