Perhaps he suffered....but he still bought his coffee at Starbucks, drove his SUV around the countryside, sold albums, did concerts, bought L L Bean clothing, stayed at fancy hotels along the North Carolina Outer Banks, and shopped at CostCo. During that eight-year period....he suffered better than suffered badly.
If that is truly suffering....there’s about 900 million guys around the globe who’d be happy to suffer like that...in America.
I’d be suffering too, if married to CARLY Simon.
