Robbie being full of himself had zippo to do with Danko’s drug use and death, and Manuel committed suicide a decade after Robbie left the Band.
Somebody’s always gotta be the bad guy, the Yoko Ono, if you will.
Are you planning on blaming Levon’s cancer on Robbie as well?
they wanted Robbie to continue with the band...the band did not do well after Robbie left...(neither did Robbie).
Manuel’s death may be indirectly responsible...not Ricks drug use not Levon’s cancer.
but Robertson was a bit of a Yoko none the less....he always played top billing on the marque of his mind.
I’ve heard him being interviewed by local radio dj’s in the past decade...he is soooo full of himself, it is incredible.
