Vic Chesnutt - See You Around

At forty-five years old, James Victor Chesnutt, after attempting suicide five times, hit the jackpot on Christmas Eve and kicked the bucket forever with a superdose that sent him into a coma for a few hours.

Then gradually he tried to recover through poetry and music, but alcohol (and more) always remained his monkey on his back, to the point that his third album at thirty was almost entirely recorded while he was drunk; not for nothing did he title it "Drunk." And only towards the end of his life did he manage to win his battle against alcoholism, seeking refuge in marijuana as "therapeutic use," but that is another story...
