In one of his letters, didn’t Paul once say that he had been stoned? That’s the mark of a blues man!
Paul got stoned (and beaten with sticks, shipwrecked, imprisoned, and chased out of town) more than once.
He was fond of Red Wine “For Thy Stomach’s Sake”.
Paul was an “Intellectual” and liked to debate liberals, epicureans, and Stoics.
I think Paul and i would have gotten along very well.
