well, looks like the clips showed up to the “y” with their prime ‘old man game’ going on…

Freshman year of high school, I was befriended by some older longhair kids who also played guitar. One day one of these kids said he had met a famous musician who was kind of loitering around the high school. This turned out to be Jaco Pastorius. Jaco had fallen on hard times and was basically a vagrant, an obnoxious drunk who would cause disturbances all over town, telling tall tales and doing crazy destructive shit everywhere he went.

Because there was no parental supervision in the 80’s, we’d hang out with him from time to time. One morning about 9AM he wandered onto campus and came into our jazz band class and jammed with us. He had to have consumed many beers before stumbling in there. At the end of the jam, to our delight, he told the band director (who had very patiently put up with his shenanigans) to go fuck himself.

A few months after we met him, he fucked with the wrong guy at the wrong place (in Wilton Manors) and was beaten to death. I knew at the time that he was a highly respected musician, but it didn’t really register with me until years later just how great he really was. He had severe bipolar disorder and just was never able to get his demons under control.
