I hope it's not true, that Billy still has his recovery going. If not, I am saddened that a fellow recoverer has slipped. Having heard one of his leads the man is truly a survivor and at the time cherished his recovery.
He had some great music but his motorcycle accident really did a number on him. Weird behavior can be attributed to anything: not feeling wanted in this arena, legitimate drugs for some ailment, has-beenitis, and so on. Not every performer can be on top of his game every show, unfortunately.
It happens, Hell, Ray Davies of the KINKS has had a few odd onstage experiences and he wasn't on drugs (stopping mid-show yelling at the crowd how he was a genius and they could all fuck off if they didn't like the show.... lol and so on) ..... he's just neurotic and odd at times. And then there were the concerts Dave Davies refused to be onstage with him so he'd play the entire show offstage, and look out every now and then so people knew he was truly there. Then there was the cymbal incident in Denmark, where the KINKS drummer threw a cymbal at Dave and nearly decapitated him.
Odd behavior and rock concerts are part of the fun. Whether on drugs or straight it is kind of fun to watch the trainwreck...... it's all part of the rock scene.
Today's music is musicians just don't have the passion and their music/shows are so well rehearsed so that they won't fuck up there's no fun at concerts anymore.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
