When a hard-partying rockstar is kicked out of his band due to a drug addiction, he starts giving guitar lessons to fund his habit.
So should I try and make my logline something more along the lines of "After a hard-partying rockstar is kicked out of his band due to a drug addiction, he must learn to live in the real world, poles apart from his previous life in the fast lane"?

Although, I thought that, based on what a drug addiction is, it would make pretty clear what 1) is his goal, 2) is standing in his way and 3) just what he’d be like as a teacher. In his mind, the only goal is to get more heroin, but it’s also what’s standing in his way of a real life, as is the case with any addiction. And, while he may or may not be a good teacher, drug addiction does really affect job performance within the creative arts, even as a teacher.
I dunno, maybe I’m misunderstanding what loglines are. I mean, here’s a handful of loglines from the Top 100 entrants in the Scriptshadow logline contest:
“Two gay men from San Francisco move to a small Wisconsin town to open a sushi dance club.”
“An Internet billionaire returns to his hometown to deliver the keynote speech at his old high school’s graduation.”
” Three struggling funk musicians get framed for the murder of a circus clown, thrusting them onto the mainstage of an underground clown war.”
All the criticism you put forward towards my loglines would apply to anyone of those, so is that competition just bad, and misunderstanding what loglines are?
