In 1969, my dad had his hip/leg shattered from the socket to 6 inches above his knee.
The doctors gave him percocet for the pain. After a couple years he made the decision to quit them because he knew it was causing him more problems than the pain.
He took aspirin instead but that was like putting a bandaid on a gaping wound.
But he refused any opioids until he died in 1990
Well, it does say he died peacefully in his sleep.
Seeing that more and more, these days :-(
Well I don’t want to speculate, could have been a heart attack.
My understanding is that Billy is a health nut, you can tell because he still has a lot of energy on stage. Dusty had health problems throughout the years, especially a bout with Hep C in the early 2000s.
On jeez. Captain Beyond. There’s a blast from the past. I was listening to my old album of them a couple of months ago.
Great. Dusty’s dead, but those devils, crosby,stills and nash are still alive.
When you are destined to Hell you hang on desperately til the last possible second.
My wife and I went to see ZZ Top at the Summit in Houston.
New Year’s Eve 1999. Opening band was Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Awesome show.
Nice! Yea, we had a bonus...ZZ TOP and Bad Co. with Led Zepplin experience and Cheap trick.
Man, I’m so glad I got to see them before this happened.
We went to a Peter Frampton show a few months after that one...it was good as well.
