"He told Spinner earlier this year that "right now, I am in huge trouble in that the hospital is suing me for $35,000 for payment, which is terrifying -- and the rub is that I have health insurance." His heath care debt reportedly totaled more than $50,000 and his struggles with suicide and substance abuse have been well documented."

Life is precious.

Very sad. He's such a great song writer with an unmistakable voice.

Isn't it strange how we hear about news now. I first heard about this through Kristin Hersh (on twitter) and could find no news source. Does social media create an illusion of intimacy?
