What? I mean, I knew he was in bad shape, but I didn't think there was any chance of him dying!
Wow! Ok, I should qualify why that is important to me and why I should be posting about it here...
Long about 1986/87 I discovered Slayer. The discovery of Slayer was when I suddenly realized who I was and what I was all about. They have played such a basic role in my creation as a person. And... I'm talking about my SOBER person here. I had no time for Slayer (or musical at all, for that matter) as a drunk.
Man... gonna take me some time to get my head around this!
