One more note on Phillips: his drug and alcohol abuse was so excessive that he was kicked out by his room mate...wait for it...Keith Richards. Phillips lived with Richards for a time back in the 70s. When your consumption of illegal drugs and booze is too much for Richards, you’ve reached the pinnacle of addiction.
That’s unreal. And I remember reading that if someone had cancer they were ineligible for a transplant yet Mickey Mantle had cancer and so did Steve Jobs and both got new livers.
