“Very few go out doing what they love”
It is a bitch when you piss away all your money on Drugs Hookers and Booze and you have to play set after set for rent money in a Rio dive at 59. Yep...gotta love that! I know when I go that is right up there on my list.

Who are you to say he needed the money? Maybe he just loved to still play? Plenty of famous musicians play in other countries such as Rio..they have fans there also.
You've provided information I didn't know.
As you put it ... maybe it was relief and not pleasure that he felt.
I don't know ... good chance though he'll be warm for all eternity.
