Seals and Croft were both Bahai. No alcohol or drugs
A friend of mine from the band Exile said years ago they were invited to a party at the home of Jimmy Seals and their road manager, an alcoholic was aghast that there was no booze at thier party.
Dan Seals was bahai as well but I don’t know how strict he was.
To add to the Gene Simmons quotes, in his book Sex Money Kiss, he says something to the effect of, “I get as much pleasure from a cheese danish as some people get from a glass of fine wine. You take the wine, I’ll take the danish, and we’ll all be happy.”
A few years back, former Yes vocalist Jon Anderson was doing an Unplugged?storytellers type show here in Austin. After one of his incomprehensible songs, some one in the audience called out, “What does that mean?”
Anderson replied good-naturedly, “People always ask me what my songs mean. I don’t know what they mean.” He then giggled and took a puff on an imaginary joint.
So, it’s fair to say that Jon and his bandmates smoked their share of weed and that the results sometimes showed up in the songs.
Not verified, but I recall hearing Joan Jett is a vegan and abstains entirely from alcohol and drugs.
In his “Behind The Music” episode, “Weird Al” Yankovic was described as a vegetarian who rarely drank and never used drugs. Some of his friends said, “We tried to get him to do drugs, and he refused. Probably a good idea, because they would make him normal.”
