Let us be honest here though, this is the most discussion that has been had on the Ledge for anything Bob Welch related in my memory.

If anything, I feel highly intelligent people tend to be the ones who do commit suicide or at least go there in their thoughts. It's so complex. Anyway, I am not trying to make trouble, just food for thought. |

^and also right after "intelligent"he said he was always in good humor, so maybe he meant that's why he couldn't believe it. Someone who appears to be happy would seem unlikely to commit suicide.

Great point. I'm sure, after reading it again, that is what Mick was referring to.

So long Bob. You were awesome. Too bad people are only realizing it now. See Nick Drake's "Fruit Tree" for more on that subject. "They'll stand and stare...when you're gone".

Was it in this thread, where someone posted that he'd become an invalid since his surgery, and that the doctors told him that he wasn't going to get better? IF, and I say IF, that's true, then I completely understand his reasoning behind making the decision he did. I would make the same choice.

All you have to do is go back to read Paul McCartney's initial statement in the press after John Lennon's assassination..."It's a bummer, man.". Yep, that was it. The depth of grief Paul was feeling at the loss of John was NEVER going to come out anywhere close to what he was actually feeling in words or print. So, I take Mick's comment on about the same level. What Mick & Bob went through together during those years and the obvious shock of the news of Bob's death...those feelings just are NEVER going to be expressed to the extent that they're felt...they're just entirely too complex.

Another article and quote from a friend about Bob not wanting to be an invalid/burden (as he felt his father was to Bobs mum).

Can an invalid get out of bed and get a gun out of the gun cabinet?

I don't think he was necessarily an invalid yet -- it was determined that he would become that way, maybe pretty quickly. Wasn't his wife in bad health too?

Steve is right, though(a few pages ago), that there are prettier ways to do it.
