If I could have been anybody during the '70s, I think I might have chosen him. (I mean, except for myself, of course.) He was definitively a 1970-71 guy, and he got to stay a 1970-71 guy for the whole decade and become more successful and more famous along the way.
I just noticed his RS cover with Rita Coolidge has an American version (with beard) and a British version without:

The headline changes on the Sex Pistols, too.

Sad, but he seems to be taking it in stride, and can still perform:

Sorry to hear.
He frequently pops up in bios of the prior generation of musicians- Arthur Alexander, Charlie Louvin, Johnny Cash- and I am always touched by the respect he accorded these guys. The epitome of a gentleman and a scholar.

Also, wow at those RS covers.
Jerrod Niemann sings on his newest album that he, himself, is “no Shakespeare or Kris Kristofferson.”
