The answer would be “no.” Rock and roll is the only constant of those three. Your so-called friends sex and drugs will always up and leave you at any old time, but your pal rock and roll is always there for you, just a button press away. *Sniff*

Perhaps the strength of this trio is that refuge in one if the other is unavailable. While I’ll try to refrain from presenting as pro-drug, the music is always there if the romance, or lust, is not & in that way you get the sex. This is esp. true if one’s listening to, let’s say, Iggy Pop. It’s all a journey.
