Tabloids aren't always wrong.

I hope they are. They are claiming to have some pretty hard evidence (emails and a wire). If it turns out to be BS Rush will be seen as a hero victim and stronger than ever with his fans. If it is true we will see a mea culpa and rehab by the end of next week.

It is not unusual for high intensity individuals with killer schedules to rely on drugs to get them through. JFK comes to mind.

It will come down to how he acquired. The hardest part to believe is that Rush would have to rely on his housekeeper to supply him. I don't know about oxy-contin but the other stuff they mentioned is not that hard to get from a MD if you have any kind of chronic pain.
