very openly that we don't. A lot of people said that was totally wrong, that's not rock 'n' roll. But I want to be a musician, not a drug addict. I wanted to play music and make people feel good." On March 23, 1991, as part of an effort to raise money for the Miami Coalition for a Drug-Free Community, Slaughter gave a free concert outside of one of the Taco Bell Miami outlets, that was reportedly the band's favorite food at the time.
