I know he was taking care of Layne and buying groceries and making sure he was eating and cared for. I could go on and on, but simply wanted to leave my mark on this site, and thanking Barbara for keeping it alive for all this time. Other things as her signature scent, patchouli oil, which brightens your home & others, have brought me joy. Its a terrible disease and I have seen so many patients that I treated and transported from the streets of Detroit that had it from shooting up. We all were our suing a buzz in those days and the idea was to just be careful. I remember I was shooting video for Nancy at one of those tributes five years ago -shooting man on the street interviews outside, and Mike pulled up in a limo and talked to some of us , and we chatted but he was high as a kite. HML from what I understand, Layne spent a lot of time in the slumped forward position while he was nodding when heroin users experience their rush and then get sleepy they sortof nod off and then wake up and then nod again He used for so long and slumped forward a long time and that affected his posture and height. Also, tf is your point? Dear Susan, Bless you. This may be too personal to ask, but I have been curious. Beautiful Country, would love to visit.

We lost so many friends its no wonder the ones that are left behind like me and Darin.. suffer from PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder) not unlike a war torn vet would but the only difference is people dont see us as heroes we brought this upon ourselvesthe uncontrollable addiction that is ..

RCKNDY the Off Ramp The Seattle grunge scene in the early 90s.. now that would be a book that Id like to write. I cant put my finger on it, but it wasnt what I wanted out of a $200 book. A lot of people think he was shitty because he would prop Layne up on a microphone stand if he had to and do the show, even if Layne was totally wrecked. If thats true then her story is skewed and should be viewed as such (thats a word of caution to the next intrepid armchair detective who gets this far) Its funny how the internet makes it possible for anyone with curiosity and an active imagination to dig up these stories and become fascinated with the lives of people theyve never met who have passed away. He loved Layne more than anything, I think even more than Courtney sometimes (Courtney as you all know was Jerrys on off gf.) Layne later said that Demri wasnt too bothered by this, but I didnt know her then. Just some random thoughts I had. She had been clean for a little while before she went in and shot heroin with that guy she was dating. I know she had siblings and her name changed from Murphy to Parrott at some stage (as per yearbook photo). There was nothing about her that was so special that it would have stood out all on its own. but I cant help but wonder if he had stayed living there, if things wouldve been a lot better for Layne He wouldve have isolated himself in his ivory tower and died the way he did. I was just being a bit of a creep and trying to piece together when he lived where and for how long.

Allegedly it got to a point where she knew that her presence in his life was causing them both harm, so she left him alone and did her best to let him move on. I went to the video and checked and I dont think its Demri because: 1. I am thinking more of teens I have been watching grow up from their young years. Although we miss them dearly, let this be a lesson to us all. Hope you write that book about the two of them and/or those times! I originally posted feeling pretty down and Im sorry I vented about personal feelings that only tangentially had anything to do with Layne. Oh man, the Koa story. There is no magic cure.. but writing, journaling and even just talking about the ones you lots does help or at least it helped me. Demri and Layne were awesome people who had a fatal disease but that did not make them bad people. I remember also reading that Layne took Andys death badly. They were trying to treat her endocarditis for the last 2 years and she had a pace maker at 26 but the H had a serious hold on her, too.
