Well, first off, it was 20 + years ago and happened on a side road next to Trancas Bar in Malibu, This place was the hippest of 80s hip and a well kept secret very casual hangout of entertainment people. It was right in the area where the Traveling Wilburys came to life. People like Jack Lemmon would go in for a burger and a beer and lord knows who might take the stage at night. The local Malibu Sheriffs were pretty well paid (think law enforcement Texas style - LOL!) to keep things hushed up. I'm surprised it even made the LA paper. The guy was pretty out there on free base but was well liked enough by the right people that they decided to try and help him rather than put him away. I don't know the eventual outcome, if you ask someone who knows, they won't talk about it. Sorta like the situation with Waddy although he's now playing again - just very low profile.
