Yah, he did so many drugs in the 80's, it really shortened his life.  My husband is getting depressed with all these people in our generation dying but lets face it, if we abuse our bodies with drugs, that's what happens  And our generation (the tail end of the babyboomers) really abused drugs badly.

Like my mom always says, Everything in moderation!  Please take heed my young ones

But I ditto that sentiment, Rest in peace dear brilliant man.
