@@CryptoGrizzly710 I agree that Robbie took advantage of the other's over zealous bad party habits and pulled the wool over their naive eyes with publishing rights etc. He was/is a gifted writer, but there's no doubt that those guys breathed ALL the life into the songs we still love today.... without them they were just songs and that's why Levon hated JRR to his dying day who happened to show up so near the end, that Levon never knew he was there. What a coward PIS. Long Live The Band in our hearts... Frank

No wonder Robbie's wife became an addictions specialist. I know this old story well, and I struggle to like Robbie at all, despite his musical brilliance or his recent death. But in an indistinct way, I do "respect" him, though I'm not sure why. So out of respect, RIP.
