123. it's very good, both for his performance and it's realistic, harrowing depiction of tornadoes.

It's the first time I took notice of him, but definitely not the last.

I'm glad someone understands the anger. His family, of course, are hardest hit, but I'd bet I'm not alone,
especially among his fans. I did, of course, remind myself of the truism you've stated about no one knowing
the inner demons others battle.

Something else I learned mitigates it too, and that's that he was addicted at a young age and then kicked it in his
twenties and stayed CLEAN for at least twenty years before starting again. That shows that he did have discipline
and some respect for himself and his talent. I'm hoping we'll find out what may have triggered his relapse -- that
would help too.

Oh well. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings with me, SMC..We've lost another great one, damn it,
and we will miss him.
