Wow, I was not aware of the lingering bitterness in The Band. Article here: http://www.razormagazine.com/feature0204c.php It's fairly long, but interesting. I hope this is the correct forum.
Wow, still some hard feelings there! Glad to see Ringo sponsored him and he is back on track. Nice link to the Razor babes !!!
I really liked the article. The Band are incredible and much underappreciated. The Weight and Don't Do It (Baby don't you do it) are incredible songs, as is the rest of their catalogue. I found the piece more disappointed than bitter, but he still held some glimmer of hope. Rick Danko and Richard Manuel's deaths are both terrible tragedies. Both were incredible musicians and their's and the Band's musical works continue to be essential listening.
