Comments on: Josh Groban is a Pothead http://www.gamerrazzi.com/2008/06/josh-groban-is-a-pothead/ Sun, 17 Jan 2010 05:09:53 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Leslie http://www.gamerrazzi.com/2008/06/josh-groban-is-a-pothead/comment-page-1/#comment-709 Leslie Tue, 03 Jun 2008 20:30:49 +0000 http://www.gamerrazzi.com/?p=157#comment-709 I am a huge fan of Josh's, and I don't want to make him out to be a saint either. I love his irreverent sense of humor ... and reading this article, if you bother to read the whole thing, you have to keep in mind that sense of humor and not take everything you read to the extreme. Josh is by no means a "pothead," and unless you have hard proof you can't slander someone that way. Josh has said, himself, that he will not do drugs because it would hurt his voice and that he's not going to do something stupid because he knows he's being watched all the time. This article, that quote in particular, was a JOKE. I am a huge fan of Josh’s, and I don’t want to make him out to be a saint either.

Try reading the site and not just the article. I'm a fan of Josh too, I just don't understand why so many peeps try to make him out to be some kind of saint, and make the rest of us fans look like rabid crazies by attacking anyone who dares speak against him. Come on...there's nothing in this article that Josh himself didn't allude to in the interview. He's trying to make himself more hip, to appeal to the masses...will ya please let him? In fact, reading the other articles, I'm surprised it wasn't more scathing. I thought this was an unimaginative rehash of the interview. Frankly, I think this author is capable of doing much better than simply quoting the most interesting bits of the interview. I do love a full-on cynical take on things. Problem is this is too light on the cynicysm. Oh well... Oh give it a rest! Try reading the site and not just the article.

You are taking advantage of the conversation he had about his trip to amsterdam. To label him "a pothead' w/no proof is going a bit far. He did not say I"I was high on pot" You did not SEE him using pot. In a recent interview w/CNN, he said he was never going to do drugs and he was never going to be seen in public drunk.Maybe you would like to look that interview up & see what you can miss-quote from it. I think a retraction is in order. R. Graziose you might want to clarify in your column that josh never said HE was using pot that day; he’s very careful w/his throat.
