It has now been reported that Paul was found dead, crouching in a corner of his hotel room, surrounded by pills and with a rig on the bed. It seems that he liked to stay in hotels, even when he had an expecting wife at home just a few miles away.

Another rock star bites the dust. Not many can handle that gig. Fortunately for me, I missed out on too much too soon.
I think I am better off playing for $100 a show but sleeping in my own bed most nights.

I have seen first hand what even the most minuscule amount of fame does, during my "rock star" years 1986-1995. Barely survived!

I fully expect to get bashed for that last post. if you don't understand, search out the Amy Winehouse thread.
