Thanks Gary. I can sort of feel a little sorry for super talented people like Charlie Parker, Chet Baker, Billy Holliday, Amy Winehouse, ...and the list goes on, falling victim to the 'drug and booze' lifestyle, but it sounds like Getz was just a plain straight-ahead, king-sized, amoral jerk. Sure, he was a great musical talent but his dark side also needs to be remembered and I'm glad Paul brought it to light. You can't sanitize history to make yourself feel better.
