Russell Brand suggests that the music industry expose teenyboppers like Justin Bieber and The Jonas Brothers to powerful controlled substances — like heroin, for instance — thereby weeding out the future rock stars who don’t have the moxie to deal with the perils of superstardom through “natural selection.”
“The top of the hit parade would look very different if teenyboppers were exposed to heroin,” soon-to-be Mr. Katy Perry remarks in the new issue of Rolling Stone. “It would weed a lot of them out. I don’t think Justin Bieber could handle [Pink Floyd member and heavy user] Syd Barrett’s habit . . . A lot of people in their journey to rehab overdose, and then, perhaps, we would be spared their awful music. It’s Darwinian. It’s the law of natural selection.”
Good to see Russell taking a break from wedding planning and getting back to what he does best: Offend people.
