@ MsOndine and pastorekaren---- do you know why danny's facebook mentions 2 friends - christine and john mcvie? is there another page? yesterday i posted , and suggested that likely danny had encountered a married woman(on the road?), , but maybe his own wife was who he referred to. or a band member . anyway, we know he was a young innocent , treated as a dishrag, and he was a soul that would rather suffer than hurt anyone else. while bloodied he tried to be helpful. he couldn't leave.

don't forget that his solo songs are gorgeous. 32 songs plus alternate takes, on 4 disks. his legacy is secure. but he is so much more than a beautiful songwriter, singer , and guitarist. i simply cannot imagine having a more loyal ,devoted, caring, loving friend than danny kirwan. that is how i hear him. and how i see him. it isn't just me. everyone here cherishes him.

@pastorekaren9 I fully agree about the rest of the band leaving Danny to his own troubles. I have read Peter Greens life story. And also about Fleetwood Mac. John Mcvie and Mick Fleetwood never put anything into the group musically. Some of the best tunes came from Danny and Peter`s songwriting They were so much in harmony with each other. God bless you Danny

@ pastorekaren and MsOndine i have a suspicion that there is a sexual angle to the story. i remember reading that danny didn't care for married women . why would he say that? he likely had such an experience. but what if it was within the band? danny is beautiful, and approachable. he would have done anything for those band mates. his last night he hurts himself,stays, thinking he is helpful, not to hurt them. he wouldn't hurt anything but himself. he just can't hurt them

You bring up yet another great point: I often talk about how the rest of them [aside from Green] did not do their work, & that Danny of course was saddled with doing ALL their work combined as they partied 24/7, but you bring up perhaps a more devistating point: it seems they COULD NOT do much of anything, most of all McVie & bless him Fleetwood too! & after Green left this band LIVED off of Danny's winning formula, still to this day: with more of a sellout twist to the sound:it's Dannys

I also honor Danny's hard work and his genius in the INFO section in his BIO...stop by & tell me what you think!! I'm one of 5 other administrators. YOU would be a great one to add if you would like!! Just let me know....I'm the Karen Pastore on fb with all the pictures of Danny in my profile album. Love to hear from you!!

@msOndine I LOVE what you have said here! I strive to reveal what Danny did in his career on DANNY KIRWAN the FB COMMUNITY PAGE. Had a troll come on but I took him on & he fled. Sadly if people with mass media PR attention as HUGE CELEBRITIES repeat lies enough times everyone starts to believe it. And for these celebs people love to keep calling Danny names for drinking & for having suffered mental illness, it's bloodsoaked hypocricy & bigotry. I posted 4 posts proving Danny worked the hardest.
Great tribute to Kirwan.Why the fuck did a band who achieved Mega Commercial success dump Kirwan to live on the streets, while they powdered there nose's with millions in Coke.?I Know the story of Danny throwing a wobbly before a concert but would you ditch your brother for being an ASS for one night & make him homeless.?Would YOU ever forgive them for doing that to YOU.? Thats why Kirwan will never forgive them.He has PG integrity. They became "sellouts". Sick of hearing this mega band moan sad

I think it seems really weird no other, even or at least "then" mates, wouldnt have found him, and helped him ALOT, 'specially when you fiqure he had a HUGE part in where they went w/FM
