Never saw an image of him. I'd always imagined him to look like the protagonist in "A Confederacy of Dunces."

Probably because I've heard that whenever he did a concert tour his record sales would drop. So they asked him not to anymore.

I worshipped him and tried to play like him .. .

One time I saw him, someone brought a turtle to the club, so he stops his set and plays on the stage with the turtle for about 5 minutes. . .the same set, he excuses himself and goes to the RR for a few min. . .a very layed back set. .

I always wondered if the RR thing was for a fix. . .

Hearing that, seeing it, really brought back memories. . .thanks for posting it.
