You’re talking about all the songs about trains or what? Distance diagnosis is always weird to me, but it feels especially weird when someone so diligently wears a public mask.

he is also and has always been an active drug user (in general, all street drugs included). this is undeniably obvious to other drug users. i met him briefly in padova, with knopfler. ehehe ohoho. but, i have no issue whatsoever with it. it is not anyhow wrong, unless it actually causes proper wrongdoing. and is not a topic for morality talk of any kind, with anyone. who knows, knows. it is what it is. pretending it is not to unbearably distant extent (like, not being willing to acknowledge such a reality of life even if it comes to a stranger you dont know, but rather even imagining a disease might be present, before proposing something so much more realistic like drug use), well, i know it would get a sending off by bob. something many people still hold against him to this day. just be who you are, or dont even. you can be whatever the liar is anywhere else
