I too am sad at the loss of
such a brilliant performer whose art was huge throughout so many of our lives. Most people don't realize how good
he was, if that's possible.
He was very troubled, to be sure. And no one really knows what, if anything, he was
guilty of.
I did feel sorry for him, as he never knew a normal day in his life, or had a childhood.
Sounds
like he was on a particular trajectory though, and that this was not a big suprise. Still, I hate to see somebody
die too soon, and hope parents of performers learn from his example.
My best wishes go out to his family, fans
and last but not least; anyone he may have hurt. I do think he did more good than harm.
