Gerry Rafferty dies

Well said. Seems more and more its nobodys fault, its a disease, its a condition, its passed from birth and on down the line. Good lessons from birth, a positive family structure along with education, common sense and maybe even a little luck can go a long way to a healthy life.
We all know some thing just happen and its tragic but many need to accept some personal responsibility and blame only the man in the mirror, doing that instead of cop out blame games might be a healthy step for some to recover from a bad lifestyle.
I dont want to lose the true spirit of this thread and hope Gerry's family finds peace in this difficult time.

God Bless you Chadnliz. I was a hopeless drunk once but thanks to God and support from a lot of caring souls who did not have your attitude I made it. Now I own my own business and am living very comfortably. I hope you never have to deal with addiction on a personal level (I mean someone that you really care about). Just remember what comes around goes around.

Too bad you didnt learn how to comprehend in your recovery. I clearly stated there was 2 very different folks in addiction. Maybe understanding is the 13th step?
So blah blah blah, I am evil, your awesome, to be honest I am laughing so thanks for the smile.
Fact is I reserve sympathy and compassion for those who should get it and I offer straght no BS higher power platitudes for those who dont and until you know me dont assume I cant tell the difference between these two very different types of people.

Time to throw the MOFI City to City on the VPI for a quick cleaning and relaxing listen, the spirit of this thread is about sadness for Raffertys passing. I am going to remind everyone of that and play some great music in his honor.
God be with those who want and need help, for the other types of folks we encounter in our travels lets all hope they stay on the other side of Baker Street. :)

How do you know you're not one of the other types of folks?
