he was a fine writer. I can’t say I do them justice but I do several of his songs. He will be missed.

Wasn’t supposed to be a bad guy for abusing Sylvia?

Wasn’t supposed to be a bad guy for abusing Sylvia? According to what I have read, they divorced due to infidelity on both sides and remained friends in later life. He has a daughter from whom he was estranged—at least was estranged 10 years ago, but she was with his second wife. That marriage also ended in divorce. I haven’t read anything that calls him abusive. Opinionated and a bit of a pain in the ass, maybe. Artists are not automatically nice people just because they are talented.

I've read that, but have read more things saying the divorce was amicable. But who knows, no one here knew them. But they did get back together with a bunch of other people in 1986, I wish I would have been there.
