    In the '70s Ian Anderson looked like one of the biggest hippies on the face of the planet, what with his long hair and beard, wild eyes, and wardrobe that can only be described as "harlequin hobo".

    However, he was staunchly against illicit drug use and the hippie lifestyle in general. Jethro Tull was offered the chance to play at Woodstock, but he turned the offer down.

    "...I knew it was going to be a big deal. The reason I didn’t want to play Woodstock is because I asked our manager, Terry Ellis, “Well, who else is going to be there?” And he listed a large number of groups who were reputedly going to play, and that it was going to be a hippie festival, and I said, “Will there be lots of naked ladies? And will there be taking drugs and drinking lots of beer, and fooling around in the mud?” Because rain was forecast. And he said, “Oh, yeah.” So I said, “Right. I don’t want to go.” Because I don’t like hippies, and I’m usually rather put off by naked ladies unless the time is right. Well, indeed, unless the money’s right."

    "I mean, out of all the bands, and all the people I’ve known, really, I’m probably the only person I know for sure never did what we popularly called “drugs” during all of that period. It was just something everybody did. And I didn’t really enjoy being around people who were doing drugs, so I just took myself often to read a book somewhere, and waited for it all to kind of evaporate from the rock and roll lifestyle. But of course it hasn’t. These days people drop as often as they did back then, like flies, sadly, before their time. One or two get lucky and manage to control it or survive it, like Keith Richards, but he’s one of the small number of people who seem to have emerged – not entirely unscathed – from the heady and demanding experiences of rock and roll."

    Ted Nugent in his heyday acted like a total drugged-out wild animal, but he's never even smoked a cigarette, much less a joint or harder drugs.
