I don't think a lot of people realize it wasn't weight gain from eating that caused the bloating look but that his intestines has basically shut down (from extreme drug abuse) and he could not get waste out of his body-which must have been horrible to experience.lynxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06086909573271644078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863087549069237389.post-58486058935457471862007-08-29T14:18:00.000-07:002007-08-29T14:18:00.000-07:00My sister Lynda and I attended his concert with my father in June or 1976. I was 12, and Lynda was 9. It was a birthday present from my mother. He performed at the Providence Civic Ctr (now the "Dunkin Donuts" Ctr which I refuse to call it). In spite of the fact that he was clearly not his best - he was not in very good shape, it was still a thrill we'll never forget. I'd love to see that program etc sometime. My guess is it is simliar to what we got from the concert.Catheramahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09183684848209747160noreply@blogger.com
