This is good to know.

It sucks because I feel like I'm expected to give a really good essay about the music aspect, and I feel like the drug abuse aspect is so obvious that I don't want to take it. But at the end of the day that's what I know. I know a musician junkie. And I hate it because it's a fucking trope, you know?

But at the end of the day, my former best friend is a junkie musician. And I'm reasonably certain he stole one of my guitars. And he's my fucking cousin.

I highly doubt you have to write about the music only or specifically.

Also it all depends on your thesis more than your broad topic.  yes drugs are very obvious but way you specifically say the drugs mean may be non obvious.

The thing is, the story, while ostensibly about music and/or heroin, seems to be about how two people deal with suffering.  Near the end, Sonny equates listening to music (the gospel choir) with shooting heroin.  For him, they're both ways to escape.

Yeah, but if I was listening to a gospel choir, I'd tell people that I was doing heroin.

The way Sonny describes music though.... I don't get it. It's not like it's an escape. It's more like it's a compulsion. Hmmm.
