So De Niro just slinked away from the scene and the situation scot free? Wow

De Niro liked to party.

He also liked (and still likes) underage girls.

I actually met Keith Richards back in the 80s. He was a very gracious and nice.

Yes, he has had his substance abuse issues, but today he only drinks beer, and that in moderation.

Watch this interview with Keith on Jimmy Fallon.

They were doing “speedballs” — coke and heroin mixed and cooked in a spoon, and injected into a vein with a hypodermic. Deadly stuff. Cathy Smith turned him on to it, and was doing the administering.

Reading this entire story it was very sad, he had spiraled comp,Evelyn out of control, filthy surroundings, not bathing or shaving, food containers everywhere, cocaine piled up on table people just coming by and grabbing some WHAT A WASTE, SNL during that time was so funny the cast was just hilarious compared to today being absolute GARBAGE not funny AT ALL!!! Most of them died SO YOUNG!!!!

Just goes to show (me at least) fame and fortune do not necessarily equate to happiness and are things of this world and not what life is truly about. Just my 2cent.

Sam Kinison died in a head on collision near Needles, California (4/10/92) caused by a drunken 17 year old who crossed the center line with his pickup truck and hit Sam’s Firebird.

This is life for these creeps: flying around the country “looking into projects,” sliming through bars and nightclubs hustling women (or men), sleazing back to their palatial digs at all hours to get even drunker and more wasted ...

A tableau of complete, non-stop debauchery.

And we’re supposed to listen to the scumbuckets advising us on MORAL matters???? Why not just get the advice direct from Satan and cut out the middleman?

Yes I am aware of that. However, since as I understand it Kinison led a life not unlike Belushi’s, I suspect the accident just happened to transpire prior to what would have eventually happened to him anyway. Just my opinion.

The average poor person would be dead in a year if you handed them a million dollars.

Actually Keith Richards has a rather healthy lifestyle these days. From what I hear, he’s living mostly clean and sober. Which likely explains why he is still alive. Ditto with Willie Nelson. Those two love the notoriety so they don’t make any efforts to play that reputation down.

Wow, Tommy Bolin.

We wore that album out(Private Eyes), we played it so much.

Richards will live to a hundred or more.

At least he's self aware. I watched an interview of him where he was talking about Brian Jones' downard spiral of out of control substance abuse and then he paused and chuckled. With a smile he said "As if I'm one to talk! But I'm still here at least!"

Although Sam Kinison did use drugs, he died shortly after being injured in a car accident unrelated to drugs.
