The only way that I had known it all of these years is what I read in
Circus Magazine about a week after Keith died.
In there it said that Keith woke up that morning and took a "handful"
of pills, had some steak and washed it down with some champagne and went
back to sleep.
Hell, I did'nt know that it was 32 frick'in pills!!!! Geeeshshshhhh!
Would'nt that put a damn COW to sleep????
