Drug+Addiction

__Charlie Parker's Drug Addiction__

Charlie's drug addiction was a huge impact in his music career causing him to get fired and miss important gigs. The drug he was most impacted by is heroin and he also drank alot. He even pawned his own horn for drug money and borrowed other saxs players intruments. So he was really addicted to drugs and if he wasnt addicted like he was he wouldnt of died so soon and would of been more of a hit then getting dropped from gigs for being high or drunk. Its sad that drugs made his life not really mean anything. At one of his sessions he drank a quart of whiskey before he played and missed most of the first two bars of his first chorus.
