I met him at his last book signing for Hey Rube. Rumor had it he was tripping on acid or really drunk. He was late because he couldn’t tear himself away from some game he was watching at the bar. He was with his wife and Benecio Del Toro. He was playing Bob Dylan and drinking from several bottles of whiskey and the like. He complained he was tired and wanted to smoke a cigarette but it was against store policy which pissed him off. Great guy!
