Diver One Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 I did a lot of my "growing up" listening to them. Saw them at the local village hall in the late 60s very sad , but I suppose going in your sleep has to be one of the better ways to go, if there is such a thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) Considering what he put into his body by various means throughout his life I’m surprised he lived to be 73. Still a shame though, but going peacefully in your sleep has to be the best any of us can hope for. Edited July 25, 2020 by Scully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 I first heard 'Albatross' laying on a bed in Singapore Naval Base gatehouse jail cell in 68 waiting for an escort flight home for jumping ship to keep a date with a captains daughter. See - I wasn't always a goody two shoes - in fact I took a very long time grow up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Green Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) He was an absolute genius at so many levels. At the height of his success in 1970 he was give LSD at a party in Munich at it fried his brain, leaving him in a zombie like trance for years. . He never really worked again, he decended into paranoia and delusions that plagued him for the rest of his life. His story was used for decades as an example that drugs like LSD made in backstreet labs are not just harmless fun and should be avoided at all costs. Before that incident he had very little history of drug use or anything else. He was quite careful in his diet and not prone to drinking, His background was fairly strict Jewish The potential of what he could have achieved had he not taken that LSD Edited July 25, 2020 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
