Though I'm more of a Jamerson/Kaye/McCartney influenced guy, I have great respect for JP. The real tradgedy is that he could have such mental problems that went unattended. There's no business like show business. This is the problem of too much spotlight and not enough real life, what a dreadful shame. The great problem of mental health in this country is you're either crazy or normal with no middle ground. I endured 20 years of clinical depression and would not admit at gunpoint my problems for fear of being labeled crazy. I can only imagine with large trepidation the acceleration that alcohol, drugs, and fame would have introduced. You're way better off admitting to being an alcoholic, drug addict, or even an ex con, than to saying you're seeing a psychiatrist at your 'day job'.
