Overview
Nikki Sixx writes in his book "The Heroin Diaries" that at the height of his drug use, he didn't bother to shower.
Sixx says that's not just a junkie thing, it's a rock-and-roll thing, and it's very much a Motley Crue thing. He says artists in general don't think about keeping up appearances. In his case, he had more on his mind than just his hygiene.
He says balancing being a single father -- or, before he had kids, what he calls "a single rock star" -- and being a creative person was very difficult, so showering often went by the wayside. He says musicians are wanderers and are probably not the best examples of how to live anyway. As he puts it, "Showering is not a priority. Being on time is not a priority. Acting like an adult is not a priority." He says great music is made out of that, but musicians are "definitely not boyfriend/husband material."
