1. I feel I owe it to Drew to sing his praises

since this is a pretty big flaw in his history.

I urge everyone who's never listened to have a taste of some classic 90's Loveline (Lovelinetapes.com is one good place last time I checked). I think it's easily the 2nd best radio show ever (if you isolate the show to when Adam Carolla was cohost (95-05). Just like I've had increasingly strong disagreements with Adam (who I'm still and will hopefully always be a fan of despite his increasing, annoying creep rightward, distracting from his shows ability to be hilarious). I also have always realized that a big flaw of Drew has been his pathological need to rake in money from corporate gigs (which some would argue include Celebrity rehab, but I would disagree). Ironically Carolla was the one who used to make fun of him all the time for his Pharma whorism back in the day.

Anyway despite all that I think Drew is a truely caring person and a positive force in society. IMHO he and Loveline and their truely positive influence on at risk people (like I was) outweigh the inferior work he might do in order to pay for his triplets Graduates school (his bullshit excuse for making big bucks, not mine).
