Kevin Dubrow of Quiot Riot overdosed on cocaine a couple of weeks ago.  He’s dead at 52.  Now, according to some, 52 is old.  In my book, 52 is when you’ve realized your mistakes in life and adjust for a happier and more content period of life.  However, addictions don’t allow that.  Just ask Kevin.  [...]
