I took a nap around 5 pm today and woke up right about now. I woke up and my ipod was on Venice Queen. i started listening to it and realized from what i read in his book and what my brother told me about Anthony's life that this song was about a woman who lived on a street called Venice. Her name was Gloria and she was Anthony's rehab sponsor. When she died he felt like saying goodbye in the proper way. Anthony's drug addiction was terrible and in the song Dosed he talks about how he feels ' forever warm" or forever happy. He loves how drugs make him feel but he knows that its better if there just exempt from his life. When he went to Gloria she really spent all of her time trying to help him, why he refers to her as been as kind and as beautiful as a Queen.
As a musician i know how hard it is to write lyrically and most amazing songs in Rock are about drugs and/or were written by people on drugs. Like anything from -I am the Walrus- to -under the Bridge- I sometimes think that drugs help musical inspiration. But in the end True inspiration comes from the soul, pure.
