Burroughs made it to 83. It's not the drugs, it's the lifestyle.

Keiji Haino currently on suicide watch!

Nice guy, not jaded, always loved talking to the fans. Had many stories to tell including about his gf, Janis Joplin.

Wasnt the drugs..
He lived rock n roll till the very end and was massively humble about it all.

Amazing guy. Blue Cheer!

I just picked up good times are so hard to find two weeks ago, and I have to say that the third album onwards are underrated. When I was twenty five, I didn't appreciate them, but now I think they sound better. Gotta go get the video freaks DVD. RIP Dickie

Rest in peace, my friend. You will be deeply missed.
