The guy lived hard.  He was lucky to make it to 70.  I remember being a teenager and reading how bands I followed were blown away by how much drugs and drink he did.  I think it was Metallica that when they met him he asked them if they wanted some Jack.  They said sure.  He opened a 5th and handed one to each of them as if he was handing them a beer.

Got to respect a guy who lived his whole life burning it from both ends yet keeping it together the whole way to 70.
