Drawing from similar situations with musicians/creators and health problems I speculate that there was a dire need for money to cover health care which fueled Bob to enter into conflict with the Mac/enterprise. Also, people who live with extremes of pain and meds for that have shown permanent changes to the brain physically, not that I can say for sure that could have been the situation with Bob, but if he seemed unreasonable to some perhaps he actually was. I don't know but continue to feel badly about the whole situation as I love the music he made and I love the music by the other members of the group. I'm sure the hall of fame thing was just salt in the raw area of the business/financial needs stuff, the insult to injury according to one side and the not at all related probably to the other.
Might-have-beens are the saddest things and there is no fixing this one now in this world really. The good will 'always have been'.
