William Burroughs, Kurt Cobain, Lou Reed, Major Tom (Bowie's Ashes to Ashes). Bilie Holliday, David Bowie, Robert Downey Jr, In the U2 song Bad and Running to Standstill are about heroin users and the opening track on Jeff Buckley album Grace is about heroin. There are loads more...Ray Charles...let me think more. The song 'Jane Says' from Janes Addiction is about a girl on heroin. I would never ever suggest that Hitler was a genius, but he was addicted to amphetamines. Explains why he was so off the wall.
