This part is interesting:

“He always looked older than he was. The doctor who did the autopsy on him said he had the body of a seventy year old man. Just like Charlie “The Bird” Parker. They were both 35 at the time of death and they were both musical pioneers with their respective instruments. Puissant players. They both died broke and they both drank a lot. They both liked heroin toward the end too”.

I though the same thing when looking at some of the photos in AOBTS, especially pages 257 and 263. He was in his early 30’s when those pictures were taken, but he looks about 50.

Take it, Bobby.
