   I agree very much.   
   I posted the exact same observation on the message boards on the BW official   
   site.   
   The best reply I got was that "he had his worst years in front of him"   
   Unfortunately, all the drugs and booze etc. most likely has damaged his   
   brain, and I   
   think he has said so himself.   
   Still, I'm glad he is alive and doing stuff!
