I mean it makes total sense but i jusy cannot believe i didn't know that. I never even thought to make that connection because of his affect on kids at such a young age, including myself. Wicked cool dude though. Shame he went as he did, but can you blame him...

I think he had more trouble with drinking. He fell off the wagon several years before he died. I think the illness kicked in when he finally conquered the relapse.

Too many guys of his generation are getting these weird degenerative brain diseases though. Billy Connolly has Parkinsons. Terry Jones of Monty Python just revealed he has early on-set dementia. Sounds like the thing that took Terry Pratchett out a few years back.
