[squre123]

he is one of he best anyone has heard and he made a name for himslef in counry music doing what he loves..

[darlincommitme]

That is certainly true... In his case, though, he managed to maintain for a long time before it did overtake him. At this point he was already addicted to junk and had been off and on for almost 20 years.

And I agree, the 1991 videos are chilling.

I don't think anyone plans on becoming a hopeless junkie when they start fooling around with that stuff. It overtakes you quickly. There is a video on YouTube of him in '91 doing Copperhead Road solo that is chilling, because of how strung out he looks. But he has always been one of the best songwriters and musicians around.
