The Steven Adler/Erin/Andy McCoy overdose incident

Hey Marc,

First of all I want to say a huge thanks for answering all of our questions!

So I just finished reading Andy McCoy´s book Sherrif McCoy which by the way was a great read! But there was a part where he brought up the incident with Erin/Steven/himself and his wife. He claims that Erin had taken a valium and driven drunk to his (Andy and his wife´s) house begging for various pills and heroin but they refused to give it to her so she ran to Steven´s since he lived just down the street where Steven supposedly shot her up with herion. Andy then claims that he ran to Steven´s house to get Erin and when he found her she was on Stevens bed out cold with her underwear down to her ankles. Steven tells a very different story of course.

My question to you is do you think Steven despite being a drug addict would have it in him to not only shot her up with drugs, but to actually rape Erin or anyone else for that matter? He was on the verge of being fired from the band at the when this happened and rape is always about control so could it be that Steven did in fact force himself on Erin as a way to feel "more in control" given the situation at that time? Plus drugs change who you are.

Latin, how would you answer this question if these were two friends of yours who hadn't been in a good way at the time? Andy's wife used to date Izzy, so he might not have thought highly about the band members once he was with her, because she probably told him things that pissed him off. Maybe musicians have a liberal attitude about sex and sharing girls, but when it comes to relationships, they're pretty protective.

Why are you explaining how musicians feel about relationships? What does that got to do with anything, let alone the question? First of all this was a long time ago and second I was only curious to find out weather Steven could commit such an awful act since he comes off as a really nice guy and never to my knowlage got into situations where he would deliberately hurt others. But I don´t know him and since Mark does know him I thought maybe he could give an insider´s perspective to the situation. Way more more provocative things have been discussed here.

I don't know but my guess is that if you are on heroin, the last thing you are thinking about is having sex. I don't know anything about what happened except that I did hear that Steven might have gotten her high.

Thanks Marc for the reply! Appriciate it!
