Tantalizing. Why _do_ rockstars trash their hotel rooms? Were Greek philosopher poets truly musical performers? So many questions.

I guess Girard's answer might be something about the power of ritual sacrifice, although it would not be mine.

> Were Greek philosopher poets truly musical performers?.

Don't know about anybody else, but there are some allegedly authentic recreations of Sappho songs on Youtube.

I have not read any of the books listed.

How many rockstars don’t trash their hotel rooms? How many non-rockstars actually trash their hotel room?

Or maybe this is more of a “no true Scotsman” thing.

Does this really happen any more or was this just a single generation meme where the cool thing was how hardcore a band was which involved antics like this?
