I'm 17, so I dunno who the dude is exactly, but as I read the story, literally as I clicked on the link and began reading the whole thing about him, my Winamp goes on random and skips to Pink Floyd - A)Speak to Me B)Breathe in Air and right now, it is the weirdest feeling, totally ****ing surreal, like I'm dead or something. Sorry, just had to share.

I had read that his wife had left the night before and the son found him. Nothing definite but peculiar.

"You can turn your back on a person, but never turn your back on a drug, especially when its waving a razor sharp hunting knife in your eye."

"Every now and then when your life gets complicated and the weasels start closing in, the only cure is to load up on heinous chemicals and then drive like a bastard from Hollywood to Las Vegas ... with the music at top volume and at least a pint of ether."

One of my heros, involved in the politcal mainstream yet still removed and individual.
