Calling someone a 70’s great might sound like a backhanded compliment, but since Gerry Rafferty sold over 10 million records and his songs are still played with reverence today I think he’ll forgive me… that is if he’s not dead yet. Chronic alcoholic Rafferty snuck out of the hospital this week where he was being treated for liver failure after a particularly harsh drunken binge at a London Hotel. Police have yet to find him since the hospital reported him missing.
Usually when I make a post on famous alcoholics it’ll contain a bio, interesting facts, and sometimes even a TDA salute, but not today. Nope today I’ll just offer a quick prayer, listen to a little of his classic music, and hope that alcoholism hasn’t claimed another life.
Come home Gerry Rafferty, come home and dry.
