Keith and Tourettes

[william sturm]

I remember Pete saying Keith would get sick before shows from nerves so he 
had to be shy
in his own way...like not when he was drinking ..I wonder how many of us 
have had run- ins
with the law etc from drink and drugs in this group lol.

>All actors and celebrities do.
>It's all "character" in front of the cameras, and ball-scratching like

>Maybe Keith was just not comfortable in front of the camera?  Not everyone

>I always thought of Keith as uncomfortably shy, and nothing more.  Think of

>Or think of the Smother's Brother's segment, where Keith looks *painfully*
>uncomfortable.
