Just think, if U2 had used Keith Richards-quantities of drugs and alcohol in their earlier years, they could be so well pickled and preserved now, that they'd be able to perform concerts longer than an hour and a half on the upcoming tour. There would be no worrying about Bono's back, Larry's wrists, or Adam's hair, because they'd be impervious to such mere mortal concerns after defying death with extensive heroin/coke/everything habits.
Now, I know you're thinking, well what about Springsteen? He's in his 60s, and still clocking shows that are 3 hours plus without decades of abuse to his liver, pancreas, and other organs. Dude just spent more time and money working out, but that AARP article a little while back mentioned there are as many tubes of Ben-gay backstage as there are guitar picks. You never hear Mick Jagger and icy-hot mentioned in the same sentence, now do you?
No, the real way to go would have been straight up rock n roll debauchery. Because everyone knows, what doesn't kill you makes you play longer.
