Was Beethoven A Steroid Abuser?
Soho The Dog is an unabashed "promulgator of crackpot theories," which keeps many of us gratefully amused.
And this one's really good. Here goes, taken right from the Dog's mouth, as it were, as he asks: Was Beethoven A Steroid Abuser?
"Wouldn't that explain an awful lot?" writes Soho. "The notoriously difficult personality? The megalomanaical fury of the middle period? The wild mood swings of the late period? The rather remarkable growth of his head? Dude's head went from normal to huge. Not to put too fine a point on it:"
Barry Bonds in 1986; Barry Bonds in 2007.
Beethoven in 1801; Beethoven in 1818.
Now, there is more evidence than this that Soho The Dog presents, but for that you will have to go directly to his blog, since such a crackpot theory deserves close scrutiny at source.

Beethoven was a music abuser. And for anyone who doesn't know it, music is a DAMN site more powerful than steroids, alcohol, any of the so-call mind expanders, relaxers, pick-me-uppers, or anything else, for that matter, that hurts the mind. We can "get intoxicated" from the advert I just heard regarding Tonic tonight. Point taken.
Music rules!
