Saw him at the Kinetic Circus years ago. Impressive figure with that white hair.

Absolutely Phil,
Was it this concert?

For a real insight into how the music biz destroys people his biog 'Raisin' Cain' by Mary Lou Sullivan is an astounding read.
Basically how his Manager kept Winter's hard-drug dependency going for years so he could take all his money.
