"I burned my guitar for heat" = the cri de coeur of a generation.

Possibly Bette Midler?

six years pass...

"I wanted love from every single woman on the planet because I didn't have my mother's love. It was an addiction that took me to my darker period from 1996 to 2001, when I really came close to the gutter – I was more into drinking than seducing." Ultimately, he said, he got bored with his sexual adventuring "as I never really got the emotional contact that I craved".

this means i interviewed m-huck during his dark time, ten years ago. maybe helped him end it, who knows?

so during his 'addiction' to women, he was 'more into drinking than seducing'?

nah the addiction came before the dark period. it led him to the dark times. or, like, although he was still boning chicks, it was part of a pathology involving drink, not for joy.

right, the women were just a subsidiary element to the drinking

'enablers' maybe

then he got bored of the women

whither the drink?

i turned him round

i said, mick, the hell? all these women and you're photographed with martine mccutcheon (sp)? this is no way to live.

i think we gotta conclude that he's still a drunk but he's less self-dramatizing abt it and has reached a kind of stable plateau of alcoholism that'll persist until organ decline/failure/death

look forward to the rip thread mick, hope ilx will show more respect than hignfy et al to whom you were always an easy punchline
