And we have to remember that he was drinking in those days. His depression was probably magnified 10 times because of that. Add the wife leaving and taking the kids... well...
and yet his genius shone through. Didn't he say in one of his songs.. which one... that he's trying to be more upbeat (he didn't use that word).. which song was it??
I've been looking at people's reviews for artists' albums and have come to the conclusion, Shazia, that no matter what people say, it comes down to what you, personally, like. Some people here like certain songs that I don't, and vice versa. So, for some people to say it's not his best work or whatever... well, I just take that with a grain of salt. Hey -- look at Picasso. If I'd been his kindergarten teacher, I'd have said, "Go take up a trade -- you'll never make it in art."
