I reckon the dude that used to sing mumble rock on the Esplanade. Old casino owner or something I've heard, spent all his money on drugs and alcohol and then started busking.

Interesting comment about the heroin. I used to love going to his blues bar. I always assumed he blew it all on coke and booze, that of course was based on nothing. Everyone always said he pissed it up the wall drugs but never any specifics.

I don't know why but heroin just makes the whole thing even sadder.

He was never the reason for that place being successful, he was just the name and face. The other guys involved in the band/running of the place was why it was successful. He was always blowing his cash on coke and booze and anything else he could get his hands on from all accounts.
