Despite his chart success he shunned the rock 'n' roll lifestyle. "I loved the music, but the excesses of rock 'n' roll never really appealed to me at all," The Associated Press quoted him as saying.
"I couldn't see the point of getting up in front of a lot of people when you weren't in control of your wits."
No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

The name didn't ring a bell. I had to look at the BBC article to figure out who he was.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

Heart attacks don't equal drug abuse.
George Plimpton died last night.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

He also hates Texans and Australians, he does diversify." ~ Braindead

Sadly, Robert Palmer had a continuing drug abuse problem through most of his career. While I've had no contact with him since the late 90s, I can testify that his personal manager advised me to steer clear of associating my company with Palmer for that specific reason.
His creative contributions were significant and will be missed.
But his denial of "the excesses" of the rock lifestyle were, unfortunately, just that -- denial, nothing more.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011
