		Jonathan Melvoin, the Smashing Pumpkins band member who died last week of a heroin overdose, is but the latest casualty in a long line of rock and jazz musicians whose lives have been cut short by drugs, particularly heroin.
		However, there is evidence that the nation is losing the gains it has made in discouraging drug abuse as many young Americans seem to be reviving the notion that doing drugs is cool.
		In New York after Melvoin's death was announced, police on the street reported an irrational surge in demand by addicts for the fatal strain of heroin that had done Melvoin in.

		Although Sign o' the Times was justifiably heralded as a masterpiece, Melvoin and Coleman both possessed an energy and prowess that some felt was missing from that effort and those that followed.

		Produced by Coleman, Melvoin, and Revolution drummer Bobby Z, Wendy and Lisa lasted well beyond its release date and is one fulfilling effort.

	Smack Happy - Who's really addicted to dope? By Jack Shafer
		The news hook was the July 12 death of Smashing Pumpkins side man Jonathan Melvoin, 34, while shooting scag in a Park Avenue hotel.
		(On the night that Melvoin shot that 60 to 70 percent heroin and died, Pumpkins drummer Jimmy Chamberlin shot the same junk and survived.) The researchers attributed most overdoses to intermittent or post-addiction use of heroin--meaning that people who OD'd tended to misjudge tolerance when returning to the drug.
		My bet is that when the medical examiner releases his report on Jonathan Melvoin next week, it will disclose that the smashed pumpkin was drinking booze while shooting, a fatal error that pre-'50s addicts almost never made.

		In 1996, at the apex of his fame as the drummer for the groundbreaking Smashing Pumpkins, Chamberlin and keyboardist Jonathan Melvoin checked into a swanky New York hotel and overdosed on heroin.
		"Jonathan Melvoin passing away was the single worst thing that's ever happened in my life," confessed Chamberlin via telephone, hours prior to last night's official launch of his solo debut at the Knitting Factory in Los Angeles.
		At the time he wrote the song, Chamberlin's mother was terminally ill (she died in September) and he had just lost his beloved cat, but it could just as well have been about Melvoin.
